For left front: Place marker at st 22 (22, 26, 26) from edge.
For left sleeve: Place marker at st 34 (34, 38, 38) from edge of left front (in other words, start counting from last st of left front, or at st 23 from edge).
For back: Place marker at st 44 (44, 52, 52) from edge of left sleeve.
For right sleeve: Place marker at st 34 (34, 38, 38) counted from edge of back piece.
For right front: You should have 22 (22, 26, 26) sts (including 1st ch-3, which counted as 1st dc).

Left front
Row 1: With larger hook, ch 1, miss first dc, 2 sc in next dc, (miss next dc,
2 sc in next dc) 10 (10, 12, 12) times more, sc again in last st (inc made), turn [23 (23, 27, 27) sts].
Row 2: Ch 1, 2 sc in 1st sc (inc made), (miss next dc, 2 sc in next sc) 11(11, 13, 13) times, turn [24 (24, 28, 28) sts].
Repeat rows 1–2 seven (8, 8, 10) times more [38 (40, 44, 48) sts].
Continue straight for 46 (46, 48, 48) rows more until left front measures 33 (34, 36, 37)cm/13 (131⁄2, 14, 141⁄2)in from bottom of yoke (not neckline).

Left sleeve
Row 1: With larger hook, attach yarn with sl st in next st over from edge of left front. Ch 1, sc in same dc as ch-1, 2 sc in next dc (inc made), (miss next dc, 2 sc in next dc) 16 (16, 18, 18) times, sc again in last dc (inc made), turn [36 (36, 40, 40) sts].

Back
Row 1: With larger hook, attach yarn with sl st in next st over from edge of left sleeve. Ch 1, sc in same dc as ch-1, 2 sc in next dc (inc made), (miss next dc, 2 sc in next dc) 21 (21, 25, 25) times, sc again in last sc (inc made), turn [46 (46, 54, 54) sts].

Right sleeve
Row 1: With larger hook, attach yarn with sl st in next st over from edge of back. Work as for left sleeve.

Right Front
Row 1: With larger hook, attach yarn with sl st in next st over from edge of right sleeve. Work as for left front, reversing shaping.

To elaborate here, since some people have had trouble figuring out how to reverse the shaping:

Row 1: Ch 1, sc in 1st dc (inc made), 2 sc in next dc, (sk next dc, 2sc in next dc) 10 (10, 12, 12) times more; turn . 23 (23, 27, 27) sts.

Repeat rows 1 and 2 7 (8, 8, 10) more times. 38 (40, 44, 48) sts.

Finishing
Sew sleeves to fronts and back. Sew up sides, and then underarms. With RS facing, join yarn at left side seam. Sc in bottom loop of each sc across back and right front. Make 3 sc in last stitch of right front to turn corner. Sc evenly up right front and yoke, and in each loop of scs around neck opening. Make 3 sc in last stitch of neck to turn corner down yoke. Sc down edge of yoke and left front, making 3 sc around corner of left front, and continue across bottom of left front. Join with sl st into first sc. Fasten off.

Weave in all ends and block lightly (see page 137). Weave fabric strips through scs around yoke where comfortable, and tie in a bow to close.
