US terms

10ply double stranded  Or Bulky

I used lion brand tweed stripes double stranded

 J hook 

This is about a 2T size but I will probably go up to a K hook next time just to make it a bit baggier.

The pattern is 2 dc ch1 so when I refer to" the pattern" or "double dc" that is what I am talking about.

Ch2 = dc

67 ch

Dc in 4th ch from hook, *ch1 skip ch, 1dc in next 2 chains, repeat from * to end.

Ch2 turn work in same pattern starting with 1dc, ch1, dc in next 2 dc's etc. to end.

 Repeat this for a total of 10 rows

Row 11-16 "front chest"
Ch2 turn work pattern til you have five sets of 2 dc's (10 dc's, 4 ch 1's)
Ch2 turn, work for 5 more rows (total 6 rows) fasten off.

Row 11-16 "back"
 Rejoin yarn, skipping a ch1, dc,dc, ch1  (on row 10 just after the front chest piece) which will be the arm hole, start another row on row 10 for the back.
Work pattern for a total of 10 double dc's (20 dc's 10 ch's)
Ch2 turn, work this for another five rows (total 6 rows) fasten off.

Repeat Row 11-16 "front chest" ...to make up the other front piece making sure to skip the ch1 dc,dc, ch1 for the arm hole.

Sew shoulder seams together lining stitches up.

I used a worsted yarn to do the trim with the same hook size but next time I will probably go up a size.
You can use the bulky or a single strand of 10ply too...

Sc from bottom left corner all the way around to bottom right corner for 3 rows adding a space for button

 if desired...I added mine after with 2 sc ch4 skip a sc, 2 sc, then worked sc's evenly back across.

Add 3 sc rows on both arm holes fasten off...

Weave in ends, add button :)
