Foundation:

Creating the Base:

Joining Rounds:

Shape Formation:

• Maintain consistent increases at marked loops, and repeat until the desired length is achieved.

Edging:

• Chain 1 and make 3 single crochet stitches in the corner space.
• Work single crochet stitches in each Bumbo and chain space to complete the edge.

Forming the Armholes:

• Measure armhole circumference and place markers accordingly. Sew the corresponding sides together.

Creating Cuff:

• Fold the cuff on the wrong side for hand sewing, then fasten off and weave in.
