Part VII: Armholes and Buttonholes

Finishing the Armholes

Here, Penelope is showing you how nicely the shaping of the back and front of the sweater fits on her:



Also, you can see how the armhole is finished? We will do that now:

Put crochet hook into a chain to be worked (somewhere along the bottom of the armhole would be good). YO and pull through the chain. You now have a starting loop on hook to begin crocheting. Make a Single Crochet in each chain around the armhole. Cut and tie off. Weave in ends. Repeat with other armhole.

Buttonholes and Buttons

The nice thing about the double crochet edging is that it automatically created buttonholes for you! :o) So all you have to do is pick two buttons and sew them where you like.

Penelope has chosen this type of doll button for the sweater:
