... legs and connected them and I've done row 3 four times but now I'm not sure how to read the pattern. Can you help straighten me out?
Upper Back
Row 2 (sleeve shaping – wrong side): Ch 8 (9, 10) for sleeve base ch, hdc in 3rd ch from hook (2 skipped ch count as first hdc) and in next 5 (6, 7) ch, hdc in next 38 (44, 48) sts for upper back, turn; leave remaining sts unworked for right front—45 (52, 57) hdc.
Row 3 (sleeve shaping – right side): Ch 8 (9, 10) for sleeve base ch, hdc in 3rd ch from hook (2 skipped ch count as first hdc) and in next 5 (6, 7) ch, hdc in each st across, turn—52 (60, 66) hdc.
Rows 4-7: Repeat Row 3 four more times—80 (92, 102) hdc.
Work rows of hdc until Upper Back measures 5 (6½, 7½)” (12.5 (16.5, 19) cm) from dividing row, end with a wrong side row. Fasten off.
Left Front
Row 1 (dividing row – right side): With right side facing, join yarn with slip st in first unworked st of Lower Body following Upper Back, ch 2, hdc in last 18 (20, 23) sts, turn—19 (21, 24) sts for left front.
Row 2 (sleeve shaping – wrong side): Ch 2, hdc in each st across; hdc in free loops of next 7 (8, 9) Back sleeve base ch, turn—26 (29, 33) sts. Note: Small gaps may form along the underside of the sleeve as it is shaped. Work the first hdc worked into the Back sleeve base ch tightly (on even-numbered rows) to minimize the gaps. Sew any remaining gaps closed when finishing piece or as you go.
Row 3: Ch 2, hdc in each st across.
Rows 4–7: Repeat Rows 2 and 3 twice more—40 (45, 51) sts at the end of Row 7. Work rows of hdc until Left Front has 6 fewer rows than Back, end with a wrong side row
