This is an EASY pattern! NO CROCHETING IN THE ROUND! No increases or decreases. This is a simple rectangle (back-and-forth rows) that is seamed via whip stitch and then the neck is crocheted onto it - also worked in back-and-forth rows. The buttons are secured via chain-stitched button loops, so no need to crochet button holes - yay!
