The jacket is narrow and cropped, but with regular sleeve length. There will be more rounds with colorwork on the sleeves than on the body. The sleeves are narrow at the bottom and wider at the top. It is possible to adjust the length of both the body and sleeves by adding extra rounds of ribbing. If you want a longer body in the actual pattern section as well, you can repeat rounds from the chart. Use the pattern on the sleeve as a reference for how many rounds to add of each color on the body. Add the rounds to the body before the armholes. If you add them to the upper part of the body, it will affect the measurement of the armholes.
