From Chapter 6. Sleeve cap alterations. There are two ways to make the curve of the sleeve cap longer – either you have to make your sleeve cap wider; or you have to make it longer. Which way to choose? If your upper arms are big, it’s better to keep the hight of your sleeve cap and make it wider. That means you do fewer decreases in the lower, underarm slanting part of the sleeve cap and more decreases near the top of the sleeve cap. If your upper arms are slim, you should make your sleeve cap more narrow and make it a little taller. It means you need to knit more rows on the even, vertical part of the sleeve. And, don’t forget— keep your selvage stitches on a loose side. Tight selvage stitches may result in a shortened sleeve cup curve.
