In today's video we discuss how to modify the sleeve size for a drop shoulder style sweater without changing the body size. I provide two options on how to do this: using an existing size in the pattern or how to customize your perfect sleeve!
*Are you ready to knit your first sweater but don't know where to start?* I've created a FREE guide with everything you need to be successful in your first hand knit sweater! Check it out, here: unapologeticknitter.com/mfs
*Option 1 (choose an existing size):* 4:06
*Option 2 (customize your sleeve):* 8:13

*MATH DETAILS TO CUSTOMIZE YOUR SLEEVE*
*To determine how many stitches to pick up around the circumference of the armhole:* divide your target circumference in inches (13") by 4, then multiply the result (aha!) by your gauge (18 sts).
*To determine your rate of shaping down the sleeve:* divide your total sleeve length before the cuff (14.5") by the total number of decrease rounds (7) and round down the result to the nearest 1/2" or 1 cm (or your preferred interval).
