Make 2 identical rectangles
Ch 59, hdc in 3rd ch and each rem (57 hdc), turn
Ch 1, hdc in first hdc, alternate hdc in blo/flo across, hdc in last ch, turn
Repeat for a total of 34 rows or until piece measures 14” ending with RS
Top of rectangle:
HDC across
Sc in first hdc, sc BLO across, sc in last hdc
Sc across
Ch1, hdc in first sc, sk 1, dc in next, dc in previous across with hdc in last 2 Sc
Sc in each stitch across
Repeat from

Shoulder seams: sew from outside in 3” or 12 stitches on each side

Attach yarn just above seaming braid stitch at armhole. HDC 23 evenly to shoulder seam, 1 HDC in shoulder seam, HDC 23 in remaining stitches, join with sl stitch (47 HDC) ch 1 and turn, HDC in first stitch
work 2 rounds in BLO/FLO pattern, turning each round (47 HDC)
shape sleeve
Alternate 1 row of decrease with 2 full rows until 42 HDC remain (work 2 full rows after final decrease row)
Alternate 1 row of decrease with 1 full row until 38 HDC remain (work 1 full row after final decrease row)
work remaining rows with decrease until 30 HDC remain
RS facing, work decrease and HDC in BLO around (29), do not turn
