    Question Sleeves

    Hi there! Can anyone explain the best way to sew sleeves into a crochet sweater? The pattern does not talk about sewing the shoulder seams first or anything else just "sew sleeves into armholes". Help please!

    There are no seams just one piece and the two sleeves.

    I like the straight sleeve attachement best...if one is doing the rounded sleeves, remember to increase and decrease

    Thanks for all the suggestions! I guess the trick is pinning it together and going from there.
