ADJUSTING


SLEEVES


If you prefer close-fitting sleeves,
this pattern can easily be modified
to suit. Measure around the
widest part of your upper arm,
divide that number in two and add
6cm for ease. Extend the straight
side seam higher and shifting the
underarm curve up (see diagram)
so that the width matches your
measurement rather than 30cm.
