BORDER: Crochet 7-9-9-9-11-11 ch with dark brown, work first row as follows: 1 tr in 4th ch, 1 tr in each of the next 3-5-5-5-7-7 ch = 5-7-7-7-9-9 tr (includes the first 3 ch = 1 tr). Turn and crochet 1 tr in each tr. Continue with 1 tr in each tr until piece measures 19 cm, cut the thread. Make 2 borders.
Sew a border to each side of crochet squares, edge to edge.
Now crochet 1 tr in each tr and 15 tr on each square = a total of 40-44-44-44-48-48 tr.

When piece measures 48-47-46-45-44-43 cm (less for the larger sizes because of longer sleeve cap and wider shoulder) dec on every row each side – SEE DECREASING TIP-2: 4 tr 1 time each side, then 2 tr each side until piece measures 54 cm, now dec 4 tr 1 time each side, and cut the thread. Sleeve measures approx 56 cm.

Sew sleeves tog in outer loop of sts. Sew shoulder seams in the same way.
FRONT BANDS: Crochet dc with dark brown and crochet hook size 4.5 mm up along right front piece, round neck and down along left front piece – approx 16 dc per 10 cm. Crochet 2 rows with dark brown, 1 row with light pink, 1 row with cerise, 2 rows with dark brown, 1 row with light beige and 2 rows with dark brown = a total of 9 rows – AT THE SAME TIME on row 6 (= WS) make 3 buttonholes on right front band – place the top one in transition between squares and tr rows and then approx 9 cm between each. 1 buttonhole = 2 ch, skip 2 dc, on next row crochet 2 dc in ch-loop.

Sew sleeves to body piece, edge to edge to avoid a chunky seam. Sew on buttons.
