Notes

Instructions for size 2 are given, with changes for the additional sizes in .

You will work in the round, but you will join at the end of each round and turn. Turning is essential to create a straight seam in half double crochet.

You will crochet the top and sleeves separately and seam the sleeves into the top. This video demonstrates how to seam a sweater.

For the pants, you will make one leg, fasten off, make the other leg, and continue from there, connecting both legs as you work from the crotch, up. At the top of the pants, you will fasten off. Then you will make the drawstring, and then sew it into a casing made by folding over the top two rounds.

This video shows how to connect the legs as you begin to crochet around the hips

This video shows you how to put in the drawstring.
