For Row 1:
- Chain 1.
- Make a single crochet in the second chain from the hook.
- Continue with single crochets in each chain across the row.
Row 2:
- Chain 3 (counts as the first double crochet).
- Turn your work, make a double crochet in the same stitch.
- Skip two stitches.
- Make three double crochets in the next stitch.
- Repeat the pattern of skipping two stitches and making three double crochets in the next stitch across the row.

Final Row:

Finishing:
- Cut the yarn, leaving a long tail for sewing.

Edging and Sleeves:
- Use one size smaller hook and evenly distribute 36 single crochets around the arm openings.
- Join with a slip stitch to the first stitch.
- Chain 3, then alternate between front post double crochet and back post double crochet for each stitch around.

- Optionally add more rows of front post and back post double crochet for a cohesive look.
