Dividing Armholes Pictorial

This an easy to do process and makes it much simpler to crochet sleeves onto the garment.

The worked from the top down round and square yokes are a quick and ideal way to crochet in one piece instead of having the sewing up etc to do in the finishing off.

Use when making baby jackets, cardigans or dresses.

Hope this how to pictorial helps with your crochet baby projects.

Hello Heather, I love your baby patterns. They are so easy to follow, and the garments are adorable. I make little outfits for newborn babies, and donate them to my local Hospital for their "New Beginnings" program. They like to give each new Mother a hand-made outfit for their new babies when they go home. And as a retired, Senior lady, it gives me something constructive to do, and allows me to be a useful part of society still. And I love knowing a brand new baby is wrapped up in something I`ve made for them. And I use almost exclusively your patterns for my crocheted outfits, sweaters and things. So I want to thank you for sharing them so freely. I do purchase on occasion as well. :D
