Notes

Gauge with Plucky Halo -- 24/4/in -- flat; 23/4 in small gauge in the round.

For 40” need 230 to 240 stitches. This is in between body sizes 3 and 4 (216-248). Need to make up a few extra stitches in the yoke.

240 x .35 = 84 sleeves

240 + 84 + 84 = 408 - (4x16 underarms= 64) = 344

If sleeves are .33 then 336

Ratio of yoke to body is 1.4 or 1.41.

If 340, then with 300 in yoke size 3 after 4th increase, need to increase 40 more stitches in next round every 7th then every 8th then repeat.

240 - 32= 208/2 = 104 front and back

340-208 = 132/2 = 66 set aside per sleeve; adding 16 underarms = 82/sleeve

To put the sleeves a little further back because one’s front is a little bigger, maybe back 100, front 108.

Body completed with 25 stripes, 224 g. Bottom border may be a little short and rolls up. Will check after blocking.

Total 323 g.
