Buttonhole edge and collar:

You now crochet through both stitch loops. You turn with 1 ch after each row.

1st Row: Attach the yarn on the front at the bottom left edge and crochet 30 (37) 40 (55)

htr up along the edge, 3 htr in the corner by the collar, 4 (5) 6 (6) htr, 2 htr in the same s, 7 (8) 9 (9) htr, 2 htr in the same s, 14 (16) 18 (18) htr, 2 htr in the same s, 7 (8) 9 (9) htr, 2 htr in the same s, 4 (5) 6 (6) htr, 3 htr in the corner, 30 (37) 40 (55) htr down along the edge. Turn.

2ns Row: Crochet htr and make 4 (5) 6 (7) buttonholes up along the edge with even space between. (buttonhole = 1 ch, skip 1 s), 3 htr in the middle stitch of the 3 htr, htr along the collar of the jacket, 3 htr in the middle stitch of the 3 htr, htr down along the edge. Turn.

3rd Row: Crochet htr along the jackets buttonhole edge on both sides and dc around the collar as well as dc all the way around the bottom of the jacket. Crochet 3 htr in each corner (this ensures that the corners do not fold inwards or outwards).
