How to show a puff sleeve flap and assembly

In this DROPS video we show how to cast off stitches for the "flap" to a puff sleeve. We only work ½ the part of a yoke and we start the video by showing how we cast off stitches on top of the middle of the shoulder which is to become a «flap». Then we show how to cast on new stitches "under" the flap. We also put some markers in the work where it is to be increased later (read in the pattern how to increase it). When the body and sleeves have finished, baste a strand up and down through cast-on edge at the top on sleeve. Wrinkle the sleeve cap so that it fits in a straight line to the opening where stitches were cast off on shoulder. In the video, we fold in the cast on edge a bit and fasten it with needles before sewing it in a straight line on the top of the sleeve.

We use the yarn DROPS Snow in video.
