Button Down Short & Shirt Set
This Shirt is worked in 2 pieces, the Right Half, and the
Left Half. The two halves are seamed at the shoulders and
sleeves and center back. The front bands and collar are
crocheted directly onto the shirt after seaming. The Shorts
are worked in turned rounds from the top down.
To change color, fasten off the old color and join the new
color at beginning of row/round with a standing double
crochet. The standing double crochet will replace the
beginning chain-3 on the color change rows/rounds only.
