gauge blocked: 27st x 38r 3.25mm needles

I’m knitting size L (40/42) to obtain size S (36);

• Body a bit too long: could knit 4” less
• Armholes & sleeves too large as well: 1” less next time
• I decreased for sleeves every 12 rounds instead of 20 (and ended after 8,5 repeats of the pattern with 64st instead of 70st and sleeves are still a bit too large)
• Plain ribbing at the hems

A – 16.25” (40.75 cm)
B - 14.75” (36.75 cm)
C - 16.25” (40.75 cm)
D – 19” (47.5 cm)
E – 7.5” (19 cm)
F – 14.25” (35.5 cm)
G - 2.5” (6 cm)
H - 17.5” (43.75 cm)
I - 2.5” (5.25 cm)
