Starting at the base of the armhole SC 46 ST evenly around the armhole of the main body. 

 SL st or sew the sleeve to the main body making sure the wider part in at the bottom.

Make sure and try your sweater on! The sleeves may be too short for you. My sleeves come down to my wrist bone. Don't worry, we will add the trim so they will make them longer too!

Stay tuned for Final Trim around the collar and sleeves!
