Adding flare to princess coat

 

To increase the stitch instead of doing a C2C block in next chain space we proceed as follows

We do a single crochet in this stitch then two chains and a double crochet in the next stitch.

And the usual C2C block in the next chain space.and crochet the whole row as usual.

In the next row,we do C2C block inthe _sc,2ch, double crochet space and then continue with regular C2C blocks inthe chain spaces.in this way a C2C block was increased.in two rows.

Inthis way flare is added in the princess coat.

Crocheting the sleeves of C2C Prince frock in round

this is the opening for sleeves.here the C2C clusters are picked up to crochet the sleeves in round.

Here the C2C clusters are crocheted in this space

C2C clusters are picked on every space and in this way 15 clusters are picked up.

After reaching the end we do a slip stitch in the space where first cluster was made.

Then we turn our work and do slip stitches in the three treble.till we reach our chain3 space.

And do a C2C cluster in chain3 space

And we start doing our round normally till we reach end of row and do a slip stitch where first' cluster is made.

To decrease stitches for the tapering of sleeves,in the last cluster we make only one treble instead of three.and then turn our work and do slip stitches inin the first and second cuter till we reach the 3 chain space of second cluster and make a cluster there.

Then we completed our round  by doing C2C clusters in each chain 3 space  and at the end we did a slip stitch where the first cluster was made.in this way girt cluster was left out and a stitch was decreased.in this way stitches were decreased toshape the sleeves.
