Materials Needed:

Red Heart Super Saver yarn
6.5 mm crochet hook, or K-hook

Front Panel:

Foundation Chains: Create 46 foundation chains for a size small to medium.

Rows:

Chain 2, turn your work, skip the first stitch, and double crochet down the row.
At the end of the row, place a double crochet in the chain two space.
Repeat for 12 rows.
Decreasing Rows: Decrease on both ends for the next three rows to shape the top.

For decreasing, work the first double crochet as usual, but for the last stitch, pull through two loops, then start a new double crochet in the next stitch, pull through two loops, and then pull through all three loops on your hook.

Straight Double Crochet Rows: After decreasing, work 10 rows of straight double crochet.

Shoulder Pieces:

Mark where the shoulder pieces will go by counting 12 stitches in from each side and placing a stitch marker.
Work four rows for each shoulder piece.
Fasten off, leaving a long tail for slip stitching.
Reattach yarn to the other side and repeat for the other shoulder piece.

Back Panels (Make Two):

Foundation Chains: Chain 17, then go into the second chain from the hook, giving you a total of 16.
Rows: Follow the same pattern as the front panel for 12 rows of double crochet.
Decreasing Rows: Decrease on one side only for three rows.
Straight Double Crochet Rows: Work 14 rows of straight double crochet.

Assembly:

Joining Back Panels:
Place the two back panels together with right sides facing each other.
Slip stitch across the top and down the side to the corner.
Repeat on the other side.

Attaching Front and Back Panels: With the piece inside out, align the shoulder seams of the front and back panels.

Mock Neck:

Starting at one seam, work two double crochets in every stitch along the edge.
Place three double crochets at the turning points.
Work two rows in this manner.
Chain 40-50 to create ties for the neck.
Fasten off and reattach to the other side, chaining another 40-50 for the other tie.
