SLEEVES (Make 2)
Using double-point needles in smaller size, CO 44[50, 56, 58, 60, 60, 64] sts. Join to begin working in the round, being careful not to twist. If desired, place safety pin or split ring marker in work after several rounds have been worked, to indicate beginning of round.
Cuff Facing:
K 2 rounds using CC1. K 2 rounds using CC2.
Repeat these 4 rounds once, then k 2 more rounds using CC1. 5 stripes have been worked. Break CC1.

Cuff:
K 11 rounds using MC. Fold hem facing along braid to inside of sleeve, so that WS of CO edge is directly behind sts on needle.
Joining Round: [Insert tip of left needle into CO st that is directly behind first st on needle, k this CO st together with first st on needle] until all sts have been joined.
From this point, all lengths will be measured from folded edge of hem.
Work in stockinette st until work measures 3 inches.
Note: As written, finished sleeve length will be 13[13, 14, 14, 14.5, 15, 15] inches to underarm. If longer or shorter sleeves are desired, work more or less length before shaping sleeve as follows.
