Materials: ( I used )

• 5 mm crochet hook
• Light weight/ DK yarn: peach shades ( about 130 gr for the sample – size L/ 50 gr or 109 yds per skein )
• Yarn needle
• Scissors

Note: I used chainless starting dc for every first dc of each row/round instead of ch3. There’s another good crochet technique to use is ch2, dc into same stitch ( counted as 1st dc). In the pattern below you’ll see I simply state dc into 1st stitch for every first dc of each row/round, so just choose your best technique

This crochet pattern is done by 2 identical front and back parts, seam to join shoulder and body lines.

Special stitch used:

3dc – V stitch: ( 3 dc, ch2, 3 dc ) into same stitch or space
