Notes

When working the K4b stitch, it’s important not to make it too loose. The first time I knitted into the third section, I found that the Bubble pattern didn’t look nice and the yoke turned out too large. I unraveled it and re-knitted, making sure the K4b stitch was the same size as the other stitches. This way, the finished Bubble looks better and matches the gauge.

I didn’t use a tubular bind-off for the hem and cuffs; instead, I used a regular bind-off.

My sleeves:
I knitted the St st without any decreases until just before the cuff. Then I worked the next 2 rounds before starting the cuff.
Next Rnd : (k2, k2tog) rep to end, 20 sts dec’d.
Next Rnd : k to end.

C : 32 cm
D : 53.5 cm
