I misread the instructions for the sleeves, after you pick up stitches I thought it said knit for 5” and once I did, I realized it said .5 Oh well, I started the decreases at 5” rather than start over. I’m glad I did, they would have been too tight if I followed the instructions as written. I knit to 16” and the cuff for 2”.
