Materials Needed:

Yarn: Super Saver
Crochet hook: 3.5 to 4.5 mm (use 3.5 mm for tighter stitches)
Tape measure
Stitch markers
Scissors

Measurements:

Hips Measurement:

Measure around the widest part of your hips.

Length:

Measure from your shoulders to your desired length, typically around the thighs.

Pattern Overview:

Begin with the back panel, then work the front panel, sleeves, and finish with the T-neck area.
The pattern is constructed to be beginner-friendly.

Starting the Back Panel:

Make a slip stitch to start.
Chain 124 stitches (or enough so that the chain measures approximately 30 inches for a medium size).
Chain one more, then single crochet in the second stitch from the hook and in the next 17 stitches (18 single crochets in total).
Switch to half double crochet for the remainder of the stitches on the row.
Turn your work, chain two, and then work in back loop half double crochets to the end.
Repeat the above step until you have a total of 56 rows, or the panel measures around 20 inches (stretchable to 20.5 inches or more).

Front Panel:

Mirror the back panel instructions to create the front panel.

Shoulder Seam:

Place markers at the 20th row from the top on both the front and back panels.
Join the panels at the shoulders using single crochet stitches, ensuring alignment of both panels.

Joining Front and Back Panels:

Begin from the bottom of the panels, joining with slip stitches to create the side seams.
Stop at the markers placed for armholes (count 40 stitches from the bottom on both sides and place a marker).
Repeat the same for the other side.

Sleeves:

Starting directly at the armhole, chain two and then half double crochet in each stitch around, working in rounds.
For the sleeve edge, create a ribbing effect with back loop half double crochet stitches.
For a tapered sleeve end, decrease stitches as necessary in the final rounds.

Creating the Turtleneck:

For the neckline, start with 64 single crochets around the neckline (adjust based on the neck opening size).
To make the turtleneck, chain 24 (for about 6 inches height) and work in rounds or rows depending on the desired look, creating a tube.
Stitch the turtleneck to the neckline, ensuring a snug fit.
