Crochet Tips Motifs: Chain 5 and join into ring to cast on. Starting from the second motif, join motifs together as you go on the fourth round using slip stitch. For second motif, slip stitch into chain (of first motif) at the corner, but for third and fourth motifs, slip stitch into two chains (one from each adjoining motif).

Body and sleeves: Matching up symbols in schematic, seam sleeves as you crochet the body. Join all motifs as indicated.

Finishing: Work edging in rows around hem/placket/collar area and cuffs.
