I have a crochet question…can anyone help?

I am making a shrug sweater, and I’ve completed the body…now I am beginning to work on the sleeves. The pattern is telling me that the sleeves will be worked in ends of rows…I’m not sure what that means…any clues?

When you started the body of your shrug, you began by making a foundation chain, then you crocheted into your foundation chain. Now, to make your sleeves, you’re going to use the ends of the ‘body’ rows as your foundation chain. It may help to think about it in terms of where you’d need to stitch on the body piece to sew on a completed sleeve, it’s just than instead of Sewing it on after it’s crocheted, you’re crocheting it directly onto the place where you’d sew.
This link isn’t to a sweater, but it DOES show an example of crocheting into the ends of the rows of another piece. Look at the bottom part of the picture and you’ll see where the brown yarn was crocheted onto the ends of the rows of the cream yarn. That’s the idea you’re going for here.

I hope this is helpful rather than even more confusing. Add more details to your question if it’s still not clear. Good luck.
