The back is worked from the provisional cast on, continuing with the same garter stripes with eyelets and lace pattern.
The back and front are joined in the round, and decreases are worked at the underarm.
A mosaic brick stitch pattern is worked at the bottom, separated at the middle by a row of yarn overs. The hem is finished with a garter stitch border.
Stitches are picked up at the sleeves and neckline for a garter stitch border.
3 crochet chains can be worked to pass through the yarn overs to get a more blousy effect.
