Repeat from \* until one stitch remains on the needle. Cut end of yarn leaving enough length to weave in. Pull yarn tail through remaining stitch on needle and draw tight.
Tips
· If you prefer a slouchy look simply knit a larger size. You can get two pair of the Small and Medium size sleeves from a single skein of Malabrigo Sock.
Altering the size of the pattern:
The width of the pattern can easily be altered by casting on 4 more or less. The length can be altered by adding or shortening the amount of rows after the decreases and before the ribbing of the wrist cuff. All sleeves pictured in this pattern are Small and shown on a 6" wrist.
