If you are doing a larger size make wider sleeves.
Row 1: Make single crochet stitches (SC). One row of lace pattern – make two SC sts (12 rows = 24 stitches); On the top of the shoulders (SC rows), make 3 SC sts; Continue to make SC sts. to the next stitch marker – one row of lace pattern – make two SC sts (12 rows = 24 stitches)
There will be a total of 51 SC sts. (multiple of 3) in this first row (24+3+24)
