PATTERN NOTES
Weave in loose ends as work progresses.
Both stitch and row gauge are very important for this pattern.
Body is same length for all sizes. When working top section, the overall length changes due to different armhole lengths.
Back and Fronts are worked from side to side and made in one piece up to armhole. Yoke is worked bottom-up from underarm
to shoulders.
Chain-3 at beginning of row counts as first double crochet unless otherwise stated.
Chain-5 at beginning of row counts as first double crochet and chain-2 unless otherwise stated.
When instructed to work stitches into chain-2 space (of shell or V-stitch), always skip all beginning double crochets of shell or V-stitch, work into chain-2 space as instructed, then skip all remaining double crochets of shell or V-stitch.
Join with slip stitch as indicated unless otherwise stated.
