Position the (right) scapula so that the cast-on edge is on the left and the tips of the scapula spine are pointing towards you. Separate out these points.
 |
| Image 7 |
Position the acromion so that the cast-off point is in the groove between the 2 tips (see images 8-9). Looking at this section as a D shape, the curved edge should be pointing to the right (image 10).
 |

 | Image 9

Sew up the sides of the this v-shape (image 9). Turn the bone around so that the cast-on end of the main section is on the right (image 11). Sew the cast-on tip of the acromion to the cast-off tail of the main section (from where you finished making the spine section), then sew the edges of the acromion to the edges of the spine section (images 12 - 13). You should end up with a loop of the acromion not sewn to anything, as shown in image 14. Press the sides of this loop together and sew them closed (image 15).

You now need to add wire/ pipecleaners to the edge of the bone to strengthen it. I used 3 pipe cleaners twisted around each other to get the required strength, but how many you need will depend on the quality of your pipe-cleaner. You will need to wrap the pipecleaners around each other (img 16) at the ends so that they're long enough to fit around the outside of the bone (img 17). Insert the pipe cleaners in through the hole in the top of the bone and add a few stitches around the edge to keep them in place (img 20). Make sure to leave an end free at the opening as you'll need this later.

| Image 19 - yellow line shows the position of the pipecleaner inside the bone |
 |
| Image 20 |
You also need to add pipecleaners into the spine section of the bone to strengthen it. To do this you should create a 3D structure consisting of 3 triangles with spokes pointing out (see img 21) - creating this around the outside of the bone will help you to get all the bits the right size. You should then insert it into the bone and sew it into place with a few small stitches. |

Rejoin yarn to the first st of round 34 on the main section. Round 35: sc in this st and the next 7sts. sc in the next st of round 34 that you haven't crocheted into (i.e. the first st on the back (see image 28)).

You then need to fold up the end of the pipecleaner into the coracoid process and use a few stitches to secture it around the edge. Following this sew up the hole in the top of the coracoid where the cast-off stitches are.
 |
| Image 32 - the opening of the coracoid process that needs to be sewn up |
Separeate the final opening, then wind the remaining end of the pipecleaner around as shown in image 33. Finally sew the glenoid cavity over this, with the cast-off end at the top (see images 34-35).

That's all from this pattern - I hope you've enjoyed it! If you have you might like to check out some of the other patterns in this series - I recommend the arm pattern as a natural next step as they connect up nicely with the scapula. If you have any questions feel free to email me at lhodginscrochet@gmail.com and I'll do my best to answer! You can also follow me on Instagram to keep up to date with what I'm working on and when I publish new patterns.
Attach yarn to the 4th holes and sc9 around the edge. Sc in each of these sts for 2 more rounds. Fasten off and sew the cast-ff edge to the hole on the opposite side of the bone. Repeat for the other side
