Materials:

Yarn
3.5 mm crochet hook

Pattern:

Starting the Hexagon:

Make a magic circle.

Chain 2. This counts as your first double crochet (dc).
Work 2 dc into the circle.
Chain 2 to form the first corner.
Work 3 dc into the circle, chain 2. Repeat from to until you have six groups of 3 dc (petals) separated by chains of 2.
Pull the tail end to tighten the center circle.
Finish with a slip stitch into the chain space or the top of the first chain-up of the first dc.

Expanding the Hexagon:

Chain 2 and turn your work.
Work 2 dc into the chain space (chain 2 space from the previous row).
Chain 2.
Work 3 dc into the same chain space (creates the corner).
Chain 1, work 3 dc into the next chain space, chain 2, and 3 more dc into the same space. Repeat around the hexagon.
Each time you hit a corner, you’re chaining 2 and placing two sets of 3 dc in the same space.
On straight edges between corners, just chain 1.

Continuing the Pattern:

Continue the established pattern of 3 dc, chain 2, 3 dc for corners, and 3 dc for straight edges with alternating chains of 2 and 1 between clusters.
Keep going until the hexagon is wide enough to fold into a sleeve with the desired length.

Shaping the Shirt:

Once the sleeve length is achieved, fold the hexagon and seam along the top edges to form the shoulders and upper part of the shirt.
Count the number of rows in the half hexagon for later reference.

Adding Length:

Attach yarn at the corner of one of the sleeves and begin working in rounds on the three open edges, increasing as necessary to adjust for size and to add length to the shirt.

Making the Other Sleeve:

Repeat the same process for the second sleeve to match the first one.

Joining the Hexagons:

With both hexagons (sleeves) completed, sew the back pieces together with slip stitches.

Adding the Collar:

To add the collar, evenly place double crochets around the neckline.
Work back and forth in rows until the collar is of the desired size and length.
Finish by adding a row of double crochets inside the neckline below the collar for additional comfort and aesthetics.
