Began Brioche Insert when there was 3.25” under sleeve separation = 27 rounds from cast on

After last rep of Brioche Insert, purled 1 row with CC(Flama) then did 2 st icord BO.

Seamed side, had to space out and skip sts at a rate of 3:2 to reduce puckering.

I wonder if doing the I-cord BO on the bottom after seaming up the side would make for a cleaner join edge?

1st sleeve is done!

Picked up extra 2 stitches for sleeve to accommodate my slightly deeper armpit.

Planned to decrease to 52, but accidentally decreased to 50 sts.

Making the sleeves full length as 3/4 length sleeves are usually a weird length for New England winters

Final sleeve length before I-cord BO:
17.5” from underarm

87 rounds and 9.75” from last decrease
