Base Chain/Single Crochet
Note: This technique creates a Foundation chain and row of sc (Fsc) at the same time, for a sturdy, elastic neckline on the garment.
First Stitch: Begin with a slip knot; ch 2, insert hook into second ch from hook, * yarn over and pull up a loop, yarn over and draw through one loop (this is the chain), yarn over and draw through 2 loops (this is the sc).
Next Stitch: The next st is worked under the forward 2 loops of the stem of the previous st, (the chain), made when working the st. Insert hook into the bottom of the previous st, under 2 loops (into the face of the chain and under the nub at the back of the chain); repeat from * of first st.
Repeat this step for number of sts indicated in instructions.

One day I hope to have the skills necessary for making a jacket like this one.
Has anyone made this pattern or one similar?
Thankyou for all the inspiration.
