Synthe Sleeves

Over the weekend and thanks to one gymnastics class and full evening of bounce house fun, my Synthe has sleeves!

I didn’t have US 9 needles on short circulars to make the sleeves so I decided to make due with US 8s. I also almost completely ignored the sleeve instructions. My arms are full near the shoulder and then taper past the elbow.

I worked almost six pattern repeats from the body and then added three decreases across the next six repeats. I then worked five more plain repeats before doing one last decrease at the “cuff” and then cast off. These are going to 3/4 sleeves. The yarn is very rustic and I don’t want to feel the fabric on my wrists. For SURE I am going to wear and undershirt under this garment.

Happy Knitting!!

  1. You did get a lot done. I think it will look amazing to wear, looking forward to seeing it finished and how you like the fit! Yeah, I don’t wear crop tops because I don’t really like my tummy to show, so wearing something under it is something I might think about to so I can wear a crop top!!

  2. Sometimes the best option is to completely ignore the instructions! I don’t like to taper my sleeves until the elbow either, it’s a more comfy fit that way.
