Size Extra Large – Row 27, Row 28: Repeat Row 7 and Row 6.

Size Extra Large fasten off. Hide the ends.

Fold the sleeves in half and sew the two sides together. I was using mattress stitch and the same yarn.

To begin insert the needle from the wrong side into the first stitch, then into the other side’s first stitch from the wrong side to the right side. Continue by inserting into the second stitch from the wrong side and then into the other side second stitch from the wrong side to the right side. Same way sew from the other side leaving the space in a middle.

For the best fit sew up to the underarms to the arm pit. You can measure around your body under your arms above the bust, then device the number by 2 and subtract 2 inches. This will be the approximate measurement you will need to leave open. From the total measurement around the body you need to subtract 4 inches. Please note this is approximate measurement. Before fasten off please see how the sleeves fit and make adjustments as needed.

Finishing crochet sleeves: With yarn needle, weave in all loose ends.
