The body is honest double crochet: four rectangles (two front, two back) worked straight for twenty-odd rows and then shaped with a single decrease at alternating ends, which gives the sloped shoulder and the V at the front without any complicated counting. The sleeves carry all the lace. A six-round repeat stacks solid double crochet against chain mesh and a round of \u003cstrong\u003epuff stitch clusters\u003c\/strong\u003e worked into chain arches, so the sleeve goes translucent and full while the body stays dense and opaque.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eSizing — five sizes, properly worked out\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe sample is a size S at 56 cm chest width, 44 cm long plus 2.5 cm ribbing, with a 48 cm sleeve plus 4 cm cuff. The pattern then gives the exact stitch adjustment for each other size — five fewer stitches per panel for XS (50 cm), seven more for M (64 cm), eleven more for L (69–70 cm), fourteen more for XL (74 cm) — and tells you where to add rounds for extra length. Each of the six pieces is drawn as a labelled schematic with its finished dimensions on it, so you can check your work against a diagram rather than guessing.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eYarn and gauge\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCotton \/ linen blend DK — the sample uses CotLin (70% Tanguis cotton, 30% linen) in Swan, 16 balls\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTotal yardage: 1950–2000 yards (1800 m)\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e4.5 mm hook (US size 7)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eGauge: 16 stitches = 4 inches\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eYarn needle for seaming\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003eAny yarn of the same weight and yardage will substitute — the pattern says so and names a widely available cotton DK as an alternative.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eConstruction\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eCrochet two front panels, two back panels and two sleeves.
