Notes

You will begin by creating two panels, front and back, then sew the shoulders together and work on the neckline. Next, you will make the sleeves and attach them to the panels. Finally, sew the sides of the body and sleeves together and finish with the pocket.
Work with a 4 mm hook unless it says otherwise.

Ch 2 doesn’t count as a stitch.
