Notes:
• This pattern is written in US terms
• This pattern is made from a single rectangle, sewn together, and then has the sleeves and ribbing added after.
• The rectangle is crocheted from side to side.
• The chains at the beginning of each row count as a stitch
• The braided puff stitch used is slightly different from others, so please read how to do it. My method keeps the braids more “square” and even to the rest of the fabric and will affect your stitch count for the future rows if you don’t use this method.

Abbreviations:
• CH = chain
• DC = double crochet
• SK = skip
• HDC = half double crochet
• HDC BLO = half double crochet back loop
• HDC camel stitch = half double crochet in 3rd loop • YO = yarn over
