Arms

D hook, worked in a chain based round from the hand up to the shoulder, do not join. Mark beginning of each round, make 2

***You can also start this pattern in the traditional round (6 SC into MC) but I find it easier to start it this way when using a smaller hook because it creates more of an ‘oval’, but do whatever method works best for you and your hands***

 

Ch 4

3 SC down one side of the starting Ch 4, 3 SC up the other side (6 sts)

6 SC (6 sts)

6 SC (6 sts) *REPEAT THIS ROW 10 TIMES or until piece is about 2 inches long

8 SC (8 sts) *REPEAT THIS ROW 9 times or about 1 ½ inch long measured from elbow bend

Turn and work 3 SC in the opposite direction for shoulder detail,

     Tip: You might have to fold and bend the arm a little to see where the elbow bends. Then make sure you line the 3 SC shoulder detail up accordingly by adding or removing a stitch or two if necessary.

Neck detail, about to work on shoulders

 

 

 

 

*optional, pinch piece in half and think about where the shoulders are going to be, think that your shoulder detail will be 2 SC INC stitches wide for each side. Then for that set of sts work (SC INC utilizing your first front loop for the first stitch of the increase front loop for first SC, natural sc for second)

 

after body is worked not stitched shut

draw remaining loops together on needle and pull through body coming out mid chest

Nice b-hole
