Ripple stitch
1st row (right side) – h4ch, trc2 into 1ch, trc3 into 1ch, ch1, (sk1, trc1) x 2, sk1, trc dec1, (sk1, trc1) x 2, ch1, sk1, trc3 into 1ch, [(trc3 into 1ch) x 2, ch1, (sk1, trc1) x 2, sk1, trc dec1, (sk1, trc1) x 2, ch1, sk1, trc3 into 1ch] to last 1ch; trc2 into 1ch + RC1
2nd row (wrong side) – h2ch, flsc to end + RC3
Repeat the pattern starting from the 1st row until you crochet 26 rows.

28th row = 2nd row
Step 3
First front part
Work 2 repeats
29th row =1st row
30th row = 2nd row
Repeat the 2 rows of the pattern until you crochet 6 rows. At the end of the 34th row, work RC1 instead of RC3.
Step 4

38th row = 36th row
39th row = 37th row
40th row – h2ch, flsc17 + RC1
41st row – h2ch, sc1, sc3 into 1ch, ch1, sk1, dc1, sk1, trc1, sk1, trc dec1, sk1, trc1, sk1, dc1, ch1, sk1, sc3 into 1ch, sc1

Put right side to right side, wrong sides should face you. Match closely chains. To join shoulder pieces, you may use a sewing needle or crochet hook.

Begin crocheting each sleeve using a smaller size crochet hook to about your elbows, and then use a larger size crochet hook to widen the garment.

2nd round – ch2, blsc to end + sl.st.1 into 2nd ch
Repeat the pattern starting from the 1st round until you crochet desired length of your sleeves. Crochet sleeves at the same time from different yarn balls to make sure that you will have the same gauge.
27th or last round – ch2, sc3 into 1ch, ch1, sk1, dc1, ch1, sk1, trc1, ch1, sk1, trc dec1, ch1, sk1, trc1, ch1, sk1, dc1, ch1, sk1, sc3 into 1ch, [sc1, sc3 into 1ch, ch1, sk1, dc1, ch1, sk1, trc1, ch1, sk1, trc dec1, ch1, sk1, trc1, ch1, sk1, dc1, ch1, sk1, sc3 into 1ch] to end + sl.st.1 into 2nd ch

Hi Sana, Can I just attach
Hi Sana, Can I just attach the yarn and do the sleeves? I have trouble to crochet separately.Thanks.
Yes, you may work the pattern
Yes, you may work the pattern from the top to bottom also. Start crocheting with a larger size crochet hook to about your elbow (depends on the sleeve length you plan to make), and then finish crocheting the sleeve using a smaller size crochet hook.
