Pattern

Front and Back Panel (The pattern is the same for both pieces but you need to make 2 panels so you can sew them together)

Instructions:

Row 1: Ch 26, DC in 3rd Ch and in each Ch across, OR FDC 24, Ch 2, Turn. (if you need to make it wider, make more chains or stitches. The video tutorial explains sizing and how to make it bigger or smaller.)

Rows 2-20: DC BETWEEN each st, DC in last stitch (if necessary), Make sure you have 24 sts on each row.

Change color after every 5th row.

After row 20, Fasten off.

Once you have 2 panels for the front and back of the shirt, sew them together on each shoulder and down the sides (leaving holes for the arms available).

Weave in your ends.

You are sewing it together inside out.

Sleeves

Make 2

Row 1: Ch 18, sl st to first ch to form a ring, Ch 2, DC in each ch around. OR FDC 18, Sl st to first St to form a ring Ch 2, TURN (then sew the base of the stitches together to clean up the edge of the sleeve – you can see how to do this in the video tutorial.)
