Yoke:

Yoke scheme options:

Blue row of DC, pink row of SC

two chain stitches in each row. I knitted like this - when I reached the corner, I crocheted a double crochet (or single crochet on the wrong side) in the arch of the previous row. That is, let's say a single crochet in the arch, 2 chain stitches, and again a single crochet in that same arch and continue according to the pattern

I cast on 124 chain stitches according to the pattern. The rows alternate between DC and SC. The first row is crocheted in DC. I strictly follow the pattern, I have already completed 5 rows hereI completed 14 rows and in the 15th row I made the armholes. The chest circumference of the baby is 47 cm, I added another 5 cm, resulting in a yoke with a circumference of 52 cmI must say that it is necessary to calculate the number of stitches to achieve the rapport. One rapport consists of 8 stitches. After my 14 completed rows, I had 138 stitches, I added 22 stitches for the armholes (11 stitches for each armhole).In total, I ended up with 160 stitches - 20 rapports. Then I joined my yoke into a circle and started crocheting in a circle, but in turning rows to make it look nicer

Skirt - pattern options:

In the first row, I crocheted not as per the pattern 3 DC 2 CH 3 DC, but 2 DC 2 CH 2 DC. And from the 2nd row, I started to crochet according to the pattern.

According to the skirt pattern, between the arches made of DC, there are first three rows of one CH, then three rows of two CH, then three CH, then four CH.

I crochet the skirt in a circle. And when I have already crocheted the armholes for the yoke, I crocheted it in turning rows "To prevent the pattern from 'shifting' to the left, you can crochet a reverse row in single crochet stitches when crocheting in the round. 
There will be no shifting if you crochet one row on the front side of the product in a clockwise direction, close the row with a slip stitch in a circle, make a chain stitch for turning, turn the work, and crochet the next row on the wrong side in the opposite direction."
