Pick up crochet hook size 3.0 mm and Start of by making a slip knot Then make 24+2 chains (foundation chain multiple of 3 +2).
After you got the foundation chain then make sc in each chain across, turn and start row1 of granny stitch.
Row1: ch2, then make 1dc in the same stitch * skip 2 stitches, then work 3dc in next stitch* repeat * to * across until end of the row until you will have 3 stitch remain, skip 2 st, 2dc in the last stitch, ch2 turn.
Row2. now you will work 3dc in each space ( between double crochet group ) across until end of the row, then dc in the last stitch, turn.
Repeat row 1 and 2 until you get 17 inch long.
After you finished the middle section then sc along the edge of the center part for 1 row. Start one side at a time.
Now we are going to body part of the front panel.

Back panel.
Pick up crochet hook size 3.0 mm and Start of by making a slip knot Then make 60+2 chains (foundation chain multiple of 3 +2).
The length of foundation should be nearly matching with the wide of the front panel, take it easy we don’t need to be exactly match with the wide of front panel to be honest I am off by 1 or 2 inch so, no worry if it not perfectly match, the result will be beautiful.
After you got the foundation chain then make sc in each chain across, turn and start row1 of granny stitch.
Row1: ch2, then make 1dc in the same stitch * skip 2 stitches, then work 3dc in next stitch* repeat * to * across until end of the row until you will have 3 stitch remain, skip 2 st, 2dc in the last stitch, ch2 turn.
Row2. now you will work 3dc in each space ( between double crochet group ) across until end of the row, then dc in the last stitch, turn.
Repeat row 1 and 2 until you get around 17-18 inch long.
Now it’s time to assembly.
Lay front panel on top of back panel and use yarn needle to sewing the side and leave space for the arm hole.
For the shoulder sew about 3-4 inches.
