Turning a Shracket Into a Shroat

Start by crocheting a shracket (see Segment 2 instructions). After closing up the second sleeve, do not end off.

Forming the front sides and back:
Counting 8 rows in from the seam of the sleeve, join yarn with a sl st to the 8th dc. Ch 4, then working over the stitches going back toward the seam of the sleeve, skip ch 1, *dc in dc, ch 1, dc in dc,* repeat from * across to 8 rows past the second sleeve seam. Ch 4, turn.

Pattern row:
Skip ch 1, *dc in dc, ch 1, dc in dc,* repeat from * across, dc in 3rd ch of ch 4 from previous row. Ch 4, turn.

Repeat pattern row to desired length.

Making the bell sleeve:
Join yarn to the seam of first sleeve with a sl st. Ch 1.

Foundation row:
Sc in the seam, *sc in the dc, sc in the space created by the ch.* Repeat from * around. Join with a sl st. Ch 4.

Increase row:
Dc in space at the base of the ch 4, *ch 1, dc in the next sc,* repeat from * around. Join with a sl st in the 3rd ch. Ch 4, turn.

Pattern row:
*Skip ch. Dc in next dc, ch 1, skip next ch, dc in next dc,* repeat from * around. Join with a sl st in the 3rd ch. Ch 4, turn. Repeat pattern row 3 times (for a total of 4 rows counting from the increase row). End off.

Repeat for the second sleeve.

Finishing:
Hide ends.
