- Continue this for 16 rounds, increasing at each corner.
Body:

Sleeves:
- Attach yarn with a slip knot and chain 2 at the underarm.

- For shaping, alternate a normal round with a decrease round by working double crochet decreases at the beginning and end of these rounds until you make 25 rows or desired sleeve length.
- Repeat for the second sleeve.
Finishings:
Bottom Border, Cuffs, and Collar:
