Finishing
Step 1 - Folding
Fold each piece creating a right angle-shape mirroring both sides. Top folds are shoulder seams with pieces joined along edge at centre back
Step 2 - Shoulder Seams
Join shoulder seams by crocheting through single loops closest together of stitches at back & front with wrong sides held together. Working with fronts facing, starting at left sleeve edge, draw up a loop, 1ch, 1dc in same st, 1dc in each st to end, fasten off. Rep for right-hand shoulder, starting at right neck edge.
Step 3 - Centre Back
Join centre back in same manner as shoulder seams starting at hemline of centre back, finishing 10cm short of shoulder seams for back neck opening, fasten off.
Weave in all loose ends.
