beginner ch-3.
Rnd 2:
Slst around the post of the hdc you just made to close rnd 1,
ch 3 (counts as your first dc st),
dc around the same post of the hdc st,
(these will be the first 2 stitches of this corner)
Make 1 dc in each st from rnd below,

19, 20(21, 23, 24, 25, 26, 27, 28)
Joining Panels
Adding Stitch Markers
Stack panels so that the front panel is laying on top of the back panel.
Make sure the sides align.
Taking your stitch markers, first pin the 4 corners together.
Next tackle the top of the shirt where your collar will be. Measure from the corner inward 5in, 6in(6 3/4in, 7 3/4in,
8 1/4in, 9 1/4in, 10 1/4in, 11in, 12in)
Mark with a stitch marker. Repeat on other side.
After the shoulders have been identified let’s move on to the sides of the shirt.
It is shorter to measure the length of the arm hole from the top corner down.
Measure in inches:
6, 6(7, 7, 8, 9, 10, 10, 11) and mark with a stitch marker.
We will be keeping this section open and joining the larger section closed.
Now that all measurements are marked we can join the two panels together.
Joining with the Mattress Stitch Join
Taking your Yarn, Yarn Needle, and Scissors, cut a long strand of yarn and feed it through the yarn needle.
Enter yarn needle through the bottom corner of both panels. Tie a knot to secure the yarn to the project.
Insert yarn needle from the back to front of the BLO of the first stitch, then, looking at panel #2, insert your yarn needle from the back to front of the BLO of the aligned stitch on THAT panel.
Mattress Join Made!
Insert yarn needle into the next free stitch of panel #1 from back to front of the BLO. Then finding the next free stitch on panel #2, insert yarn needle from back to front of the BLO. And pull.
Make sure to pull yarn gently to avoid puckering.
Repeat until you reach the stitch marker.
Tie off your join and repeat everything you just did to attach each joining section.
Make sure to keep the arm holes and neckline hole open.
Weave in all your ends before you move on.
Sleeves:
Taking your yarn and crochet hook,
slst into the bottom join where the armpit would be.
Ch 1, make your first sc into the same join sp you just slst’d into, then work one sc in each stitch to top corner join where your shoulder would be,
sc into the join itself then continue making one sc in each st along the next panel.
Close rnd with a slst in the top of the first sc made.
I just capped off my sleeve.
For full sleeves:
After your last sc round, ch 2 (does not count as a stitch).
Dc in each stitch around.
Close each round with a sl st to the top of the first dc.
Repeat until sleeve reaches your desired length.
Repeat for second sleeve.
Collar:
Slst in the join next to the shoulder.
Ch 1, slst loosely in each st along the panel, slst into the join between the two panels, slst into each st on the next panel. Slst into the first slst of collar to close. Tie off.
Bottom Border:
I personally did not add a bottom border but if you would like to, this is what you would do.
Start by turning the top so the shoulders are down and the bottom of the shirt is up.
Begin by slst’ing into the first st of the front panel.
Ch 1.
We will want to work on the edge or very bottom NOT on the front of the work. To achieve this I work into the foundation row sts.
Sl st loosely into each foundation row stitch or loop to avoid tightness. Close Border with a slst in the first st.
Tie Off.
Weave in all your ends.
