Pattern Notes
- The yoke and sleeves are worked from one wrist to the other.
- In the yoke and on the sleeves, the chain at the begginning of each row counts as a stitch.
- In the skirt, the chain at the begginning of each round marks the center back.
- As you crochet in the round on the skirt, each row of stitches slants to the left. You need to straighten the rows when you block the skirt before assembly.
