Quick Overview Of Pattern

Worked from the top-down using a magic ring and continuous rounds.
Uses V-stitch (2 double crochets in the same space) to form open mesh texture.
Simple increases for shaping, then straightforward repeats for the body.
No complicated decreases or joinings.
Seamless finish with only ends to weave in.

Notes

"V-stitch" refers to 2 double crochets (dc) made into the same space.
Starting chain-3 always counts as the first double crochet of each V-stitch and round.
Each round is joined with a slip stitch (sl st) to the top of the beginning chain-3.
The mesh effect is achieved by placing V-stitches separated by chain-2 in chain spaces from the previous rows.
Steps for seam movement (slip stitches to next space) keep the mesh pattern even.
