Upper arm measurement is 19”, so I want to make the sleeves from the 59” size.

51” size has 87 stitches slipped for the sleeve + 10 CO.
59” size has 99 stitches slipped + 14 CO.
113-87 = 26, so that’s what I’ll CO for my underarm.

That makes an additional 16 stitches on each side, which will get decreased in the body.

Once you get to the body (finished with chart 3, split for sleeves w/ extra CO stitches), knit once around. Second body round: slip marker, k1, k2tog, knit to 3st before other center-side marker, ssk, k1, sm, k1, k2tog, knit to 3st before BOR, ssk, k1.
3rd body round: k around

Repeat rounds 2 and 3 eight times (until extra stitches are decreased)

Moving to sleeves, move the 87 stitches back onto needles, pick up 26 stitches from CO edge, plus one on either side to fill in the gaps (28 stitches picked up) = 111 stitches for sleeves.

Rather than doing a ribbed edge for the sleeves/hem, I want to try doing a foldover hem.

Sleeves ended up being 18 rows (2” at my gauge) worked in stockinette with the garment inside-out, turn garment right-side-out, slip first stitch then work one round knit, one round purl (this will be the fold), then 5 rounds knit. Bind off loosely, leaving a long tail for sewing the hem closed.
