Materials: ( I used )
4mm crochet hook
Sport weight yarn: rose pink ( about 700 gr for the sample – size L / 100 gr or 240 yds per skein )
Yarn needle
Scissors
Note: I used chainless starting dc for every first dc of each row/ round instead of ch 3. There’s another good crochet technique to use is ch 2, dc into the same stitch ( counted as 1st dc). In the pattern below you’ll see I simply state dc into 1st stitch for every first dc of each row/ round, so just choose your best technique
This crochet pattern is done by 2 identical front and back parts, seam to join shoulder and body lines. The sleeves are crocheted continuously from the armholes.
Special stitch used:

skip 3 sts, fptr around each of next 3 sts, working in front of the fptr just made, fptr around each of 3 skipped sts.
