Materials: ( I used )
- 3.5 mm crochet hook
- Sport weight yarn: blue ( 200 gr for the sample – size L / 100 gr or 360 yds per skein )
- Yarn needle
- Scissors
Note: I used chainless starting dc/ tr for every first dc/tr of each round/row instead of ch 3/ ch 4. There’s another good crochet technique to use is ch 2/ ch 3, dc/ tr into same stitch ( counted as 1st dc/ tr). In the pattern below you’ll see I simply state dc/ tr into 1st stitch for every first dc/ tr of each round/ row, 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: 5dc shell stitch ( 5 dc into same stitch or space )
