Step-by-Step Guide
1. Preparing the Base
- Begin with a slip knot and chain a desired length in multiples of 4 + 6.
- For demonstration, 62 chains were created in the video.
- You can count the chains to ensure accuracy. Adjust the number of chains based on shoulder size or preferred design. For drop shoulders, increase the chains.
2. Starting the First Row
- Skip the first 6 chains; insert the hook into the 7th chain.
- Yarn over, pull through to make double crochet loops. Repeat these steps to form a cluster of three double crochet stitches in the 7th chain.
- Chain 1 next.
- Skip the next three stitches and create another cluster of three double crochets into the fourth chain. Continue this pattern until reaching the end of the row.
- At the row’s end, make a single double crochet into the third chain.
3. Working on the Second Row and Alternating Rows
- Chain 3 at the start of the second row; turn the work.
- Make two double crochets into the space to form a cluster of three. Chain 1 and repeat the cluster-making process in subsequent spaces.
- To change color:
- Add the second color yarn through the last stitch loops.
- Chain four and continue making clusters in spaces as usual.
- Alternate rows either start with chain 3 + 2 double crochets or chain 4, depending on the row type (ends with double crochet or cluster).
4. Completing the Panels
- Crochet both front and back panels using the same steps. Adjust the length by adding rows; for example, 26 rows were made.
5. Joining the Panels
- Place both panels inside out and secure them with the same-color yarn.
- Use a needle to sew the shoulder seams together, sewing 16 stitches at each shoulder for proper alignment.
- Turn the panels right side out once joined.
6. Crocheting the Sleeves
- Begin from the space where both panels meet.
- Create a knot with the sleeve yarn, then chain 3.
- Make clusters of three double crochet stitches into the sleeve spaces. Skip one double crochet stitch between clusters.
- Ensure sleeves are straight without decreasing stitches.
- At the end of the sleeve row, chain 1. Join the first and last clusters using a slip stitch into the third chain of the starting chain.
- Start new rows with chain 4 and continue forming clusters in spaces. Repeat until the sleeve reaches the desired length.
