Does someone have a step by step instruction on how to assemble a 5 piece crocheted baby sweater? There is a back piece, two front panels, and 2 sleeves. Thank you.

I have made hundreds of these! I always sew (whip stitch) shoulder fronts to the back first. Then I sew the back to each side next. Then I sew the sleeves in.

When sewing the sleeves in, I fold the sleeve in half. Then I use contrasting yarn and loosely tack the top corner to the shoulder seams, then I loosely tack the bottom corner to the top of the side seam. This makes it easier to sew the sleeves in place.

After sewing it all together you could put an edge around the whole thing, or put a collar on it. Once you've finished one, any future ones you make will be a breeze.
