Yarn
Lace weight yarn, held double throughout
Approximately 1115 (1315, 1460, 1680, 1830) (1985, 2175, 2330, 2480) yards / 1015 (1200, 1335, 1535, 1675) (1815, 1990, 2130, 2270) m
4 (5, 5, 6, 6) (7, 7, 8, 8) balls of DARUMA Silk Mohair (Super kid mohair, 60%, silk 40%; 328 yards / 300 m, 25g)
Sample is shown in #9 Sea Salt

Hook
A US G/6 (4.0 mm) hook
Or, a hook required to obtain gauge

Tools
Removable stitch markers (7), tapestry needle, blocking pins and mats

Gauge (after blocking)
15 stitches & 11 rows = 4” / 10 cm in corner-to-corner lace pattern with US G/6 (4.0 mm) hook
Row height along edges: ½” / 1.25 cm with US G/6 (4.0 mm) hook
Note: See Chart (p.67) and Swatch Instructions (p.66) for swatching. Lace is very stretchy, so measuring gauge is not an exact science. Keeping a close eye on the desired garment dimensions when blocking is therefore crucial.

Sizes
Finished bust measurements: 1 (2, 3, 4, 5) (6, 7, 8, 9) = 32 (36, 40, 43½, 47½) (51½, 55½, 59½, 63½)” / 81 (91, 101, 111, 121) (131, 141, 151, 161) cm
The sample is in size 3 on a 5’ 4” / 163 cm tall model with 10½” / 27 cm on positive ease at bust.

Note
Rousseau consists of four panels: two for the front and two for the back. Each panel is worked from corner to corner, beginning at the outer edge of the hem and ending at the top of the V-neck/middle of the back neck. The sleeve, V-neck, shoulder and back neck shaping are incorporated into the respective panels. After blocking, edging is worked around each panel before they are crocheted together. Finally, a picot trim is added around the sleeve and V-neck edges.
To achieve the correct shape and dimensions, the panels must be blocked aggressively before edging and seaming. The fabric will stretch much less after edging and seaming.
The four panels are reversible until they are crocheted together.

サンプル色は#9 Sea Salt


1 x JP 7/0, US G/6 (4.0 mm) のかぎ針
または, ゲージの取れる太さの針

ゲージ(ブロッキング後)
JP 7/0, US G/6 (4.0 mm) の針を使用し, 角から向かいの角へと編むレース模様で15目& 11段 = 10 cm
スワッチの端を測って1段 = 1.25 cm
Note: チャートを参考にスワッチを編むこと. レース模様はとても伸縮性が高いので, ゲージを正確に取るのは難しい. そのため, ブロッキングの際は希望のサイズの寸法を注意深く確認することが重要である.

道具
段数マーカー(7), とじ針, ブロッキングマットとピン

Note
前後2枚ずつ, 4枚のパネルを繋げて作るプルオーバー. それぞれのパネルは脇側の裾角から編み始め, Vネック/後ろネックへ向かって編む.袖, Vネック, 肩, 後ろネックの形はそれぞれのパネルを編みながら作る. パネルをブロッキングした後, 縁編みを編みつけて4つのパネルを綴じる. 最後に袖口とVネックにピコットと編む.
縁編みをつけ, 綴じた後では伸縮性が低くなるので, 寸法を正しく出すためには, 縁編みや綴じる前に各パネルをブロッキングする必要がある. 縁編みを編むまでは4つのパネルは表裏の区別はない.
