Materials

( I used )

• 5 mm crochet hook
• Light weight/ DK yarn: magenta (about 200 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. Another good crochet technique to use is ch 2, 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, seamed to join shoulder and body lines.

Special Stitch Used

3dc – V stitch: (3 dc, ch 2, 3 dc) into the same stitch or space
