Chained 61+3 (62 sts)
Used improved chainless dc, replacing the ch 3 throughout the rest of pattern.

FRONT: As pattern except starting w/62 sts

BACK:
Right Shoulder: Used hooksandhailos’ mods and did
Row 21: as straight dc
Row 22: 31 sts total
for the following row(and the rest of the decrease rows-now odd numbered rows up to row 33) so it would have the decreases in the correct place, I immediately dc2tog at the beginning of row instead of the end.

Since I wasn’t skipping the third stitch as in the pattern I had to do a little reworking w/the numbers to get down to 20 sts. (With the help of Knitulator changing the knits to dc)
Row 31: Dc2tog, dc in next 22 sts, dc2tog, dc 1(25 sts)
Row 32: Dc across
Row 33: DC 1, dc2tog, dc 3, dc2tog until last 2 sts, dc 2 (20 sts)

Left Shoulder:
Starting w/ Row 22 w/the remaining 31 sts
Decreasing on Row 23 and rest of odd-numbered rows up to row 33

Stitching together for the arm hole, I placed stitch markers and tried on to make sure I had enough space, which for me was 15 rows down from the top measuring 7 inches.

SLEEVES:
As pattern but the length was no where near as long as it’s supposed to be so I added 17 more rows of straight dc before lace portion. (41 total rounds of dc)

BOTTOM SHIRT EDGE:
Using knitting needles(US 8(5.0mm)) I picked up all the stitches at the bottom(124sts) and did 5 rows of 1x1 ribbing then bound off with Jenny’s Stretchy Bind Off

LACE MOTIF:
I was a bit confused on this section but I think I kinda figured it out:

(First row) Round 27: ch 1(doesn’t count as a st) 1 sc in the same st as join and in next 2 sts, skip 2 sts, 5dc in the next st, *skip 2 sts, 5 sc, skip 2 sts, 5dc in the next st*, repeat from *to* twice, skip 2 sts, 2 sc, sl st in the first sc

Round 28: ch 1(doesn’t count as a st), 1 sc, ch 2, skip 2 sts, (dc3tog bobble, ch 2) in the next 5 dc, skip 2 sts, *1 sc, ch 2, skip 2 sts, (dc3tog bobble, ch 2) in the next 5 dc, skip 2 sts*, repeat from *to* twice. Join round with a sl st in the first sc

Round 29: ch 3 (count as 1 dc), 2dc in the same st, skip ch-2 sp, (1 sc, ch 2) in the next 3 ch-2 sps, 1 sc in the next ch-2 sp, skip next ch-2 sp, *5dc in the next sc, skip 1 ch-2 sp, (1 sc, ch 2) in the next 3 ch-2 sps, 1 sc in the next ch-2 sp, skip 1 sp*, repeat from *to* twice, 2dc in the first st from the beg, close the round with a sl st in the 3rd ch

Round 30: ch 2(note:you can place a st marker in the last chain made to know where to join @ the end of round), (dc2tog bobble, ch 2) in the same st as join, (dc3tog bobble, ch 2) in the next 2 dc, skip 1 ch-2 sp, (1 sc, ch 2) in the next ch-2 sp, *skip 1 ch-2 sp, (dc3tog bobble, ch 2) in the next 5 dc, skip 1 ch-2 sp, (1 sc, ch 2) in the next ch-2 sp*, repeat from *to* twice, skip 1 ch-2 sp, (dc3tog bobble, ch 2) in the next dc, (dc3tog bobble, ch 1) in the last st, to finish this round make 1 sc into the second ch from the beg. (This way you will start the next round in the middle of the ch-2 space)

Round 31: ch 2, (1 sc, ch 2) in the next ch-2 sp, 1 sc in the next ch-2 sp, skip 1 ch-2 sp, 5dc in next sc, skip 1 ch-2 sp, *(1 sc, ch 2) in the next 3 ch-2 sps, 1 sc in the next ch-2 sp, skip 1 ch-2 sp, 5dc in the next sc, skip 1 ch-2 sp*, repeat from *to* twice. (1 sc, ch 2) in the last ch-2 sp, finish the round with a sl st into the first sc and into the first ch-2 sp

Round 32: ch 1 (doesn’t count as a st), 1 sc in the same ch-2 sp, ch 2, skip 1 ch-2 sp, (dc3tog bobble, ch 2) in the next 5 dc, skip 1 ch-2 sp, *(1 sc, ch 2) in the next ch-2 sp, skip 1 ch-2 sp, (dc3tog bobble, ch 2) in the next 5 dc, skip 1 ch-2 sp*. Repeat from *to* twice. Finish the round with a sl st in the first sc

I repeated rounds 29-32, once (ending on (round 51, in pattern: Round 36)
then repeated rounds 29-30 once(ending on Round 53, in pattern: Round 38),
then made the last round (ending on Round 54, in pattern: round 39

Round 39: ch 1, 1 puff st in the joining sc, *1 sc, (1 puff st in the same sc you just made) in next ch-2 sp*, repeat from *to*. Finish with a sl st in the 1st ch, cut your yarn and weave in ends.
