Is it possible? I am making crochet figures. My pattern is very basic and the jacket consists of a kind of cape crocheted in one piece and sewn to the neck of the figure with arms done in the same colour as the jacket sewn on top. It doesn't look good as there is no shoulder so to speak to take the arm.
So what I want to do is attach the arms to the body and make the jacket separately and dress the doll in the jacket, thus covering the join of the arms and the body. So, I have made sleeves - they tubes of 12 stitches. And I know how to make the main part of the jacket, following the 'cape' pattern in the original figure. But what I do not know how to do is how to create armholes in the cape to which I can sew the sleeves.
I am not really a crocheter, more a knitter. If it was knitting, I would have no problem! Please, can anyone explain how I drop and then remake stitches in crochet and thus how I could create a hole to which I join the sleeves?
Hope this makes sense!
TIA.
