Yea, it’s a beautiful design! I really like Purlificknittetter’s version. For me, an easier way to work out the stitch count for the sleeves is to use your swatch to calculate the stitch count. If you didn’t do a swatch there should be enough stitches in the yoke to calculate the number of stitches to the even number (not a partial number) across 10 centimetres required for the ideal circumference for your arm. Not to worry about row gauge because you can recalculate decreases based on your own arm length or preferred sleeve length. Multiply the even number of stitches in your swatch by the number of centimetres for a comfortable fit and there you have it!

Great idea! Thanks for sharing

Thank you, for your tips and explanation. I wish I could order your yarn but I never understand rates of postal rates and long wait for the yarn to arrive.

[@SkeinSisters]

You are so welcome! Where do you live? I might be able to help you make sense of the post rates, etc

@@carmenguzman7991 That's a lovely part of the world! You can see the postal cost (in AUD) when you get to the check out section on our website, and I wish I could do something about the length of time it takes to get to you! The great thing is that our prices are listed in Australian Dollars, so it's far cheaper for you. For example, our Romance yarn is $29.80 US and Fabulous Sock is $25.90. Let me know if there's anything more I can help you with. Deb
