Ok Where's the Sleeves?

In message , DAB writes

Looks to me if you knit it from top downwards. The cast off stitches at the end of those 8 rows form the sleeves, then you carry on to knit the body. Just my view. Shirley

"At the beginning on the next 8 rows, bind of 5 (6) stitches."

= The sleeves are part of the whole, they're not knitted separately.

Ok just seems to me there should be more castoff stitches but the yarn is bulky so I will just have see what happens.

Thanks and good morning!

Donna

Ok thanks Mary.....I have not knitted with bulky yarn so 5 stitches just didn't sound like enough

Donna

Five stitcehs at the beginning of the next eight rows - that means twenty stitches at each side. At that gauge it's a lot :-)

Mary

The sleeves are 3/4 length, so 10-12 inches would be enough. If you wanted more, CO for the larger size (or more), and BO more sts.

Yes makes sense now......hope to get the yarn tomorrow so will be interesting to see how it works out

I love 3/4 length....I have very short arms so they end up full length on me
