Knit the sleeves on 6 mm needles since I wasn’t able to find 6,5 mm dpns. I tried to knit just a little loser than I normally would and the gauge doesn’t differ visibly from the rest of the sweater. The sleeves are about 17 cm.

Alterations to the pattern:

• I made 7 repetitions of the shale panel in the front( instead of 5), since I wanted the sweater to be a little longer.

• Finished the hem and the sleeves with an i-cord bind-off instead of the hem trim suggested in the pattern. Very happy with that decision! I also omitted the neck trim as it didn’t seem necessary.
