Pattern Instructions:
Foundation Chain:
- For Size S, begin with 80 chains.
- Add 3 additional chains to serve as a turning stitch.
First Round: Creating the Neckline:
- Start in the 4th chain from the hook. Work 1 dc; this replaces the first dc stitch.
- Continue working 12 dc stitches till the first corner.
- In the next chain (first corner), create a corner increase: 1 dc, 2 chains, 1 dc.
- Work 16 dc (shoulder section).
- At the second corner, repeat the corner increase: 1 dc, 2 chains, 1 dc.
- Work 24 dc (back section).

- Work another 16 dc (second shoulder section).
- At the fourth corner, repeat the corner increase: 1 dc, 2 chains, 1 dc.
- Finish the row with 12 dc stitches.
Subsequent Rounds:
- Start each row with 3 chains, acting as the first dc.
- Work dc across all existing stitches.
- At each corner (2 chains space), work the increase pattern: 1 dc, 2 chains, 1 dc.
- Repeat until the desired yoke height is achieved. For the tutorial, 15 rows were worked.
Joining the Sleeves (16th Row):
