Right sleeve with 3.75mm because I knit more tight in sleeve circumferences.

First version = fitted sleeve.
Ribbing 1x1 with 3.25mm, on the 9th round after last decrease round, aiming for 7/8 long sleeves as a first try.

Unravelled and knitted it again to match the left sleeve.
New cuff with 3.5mm needles, beginning in round 9 after last decrease. K31 rounds, then make a 3 needle bind off with cuff folded inside. The cuff is flaring outwards.

Trying different cuff styles…

First one: With 3.5mm K2, k2tog tbl (not twisted) = 11 sts decreased -> 33sts left.
Knit 32 rounds, then fold the cuff and attach it with Kitchener stitch on the inside.

I cannot made up my mind right now which type of cuff I like best. The folded one looks very good, but is also a bit thick. The ribbing & tubular bind off looks a bit floppy.
I consider to make the same ending with Icord as I have used on the bottom.

Final Cuff on both sleeves: on 9th row after last dec, switch to 3.5mm, k16 rounds. Icord bind off.

Neckline Icord: 2.5mm needles. Picked up 1sts/row. Perfect fit!

The first sleeve has a very tight fit.

Left sleeve with 3,75mm and started to decrease on the 28th row.
11 Decrease every 9th round.
K8 rounds after last dec.
Cuff with 3.5mm needles k 1 round.
K 15 rounds of ribbing (k1, p1). Then start Tubular Bind off.

I expected a much looser sleeve then, but when I actually measured it, it had 30cm circumference, same as pattern schematics stated. BUT my gauge is ca 21sts/10cm, which should lead to a wider sleeve for same stitch count - but doesn’t at all!

Why sleeve measurements in that pattern schematics are not reliable:

I calculated the size 2 sleeve circumference = 28,7cm according to pattern gauge and st count. The schematics stated 30cm. So there are 1,3cm difference.

I calculated all sleeve circs and they are all different from schematics. Just be aware. The instructions are otherwise fine.
