The sleeves are enormous in proportion to the chest. Or maybe I just have spindly arms! 😉

I finished the body and one sleeve before I tried it on my medium/lrg sized body to see how it fit. Waaaaaay too much fabric in the underarm, and I guess sleeve top in general, now that I’ve read your excellent article. If I tink the sleeve, can I simply clost the underarm to reduce the armhole somewhat? Thanks very much. Your page was sent to me by someone at the Knitters’ Review Forum.

I usually just start two sizes smaller than my bust and then increase the body as needed. Sometimes it works, sometimes…

So glad that some top-down raglan patterns are addressing this, and awesome illustration about how to modify those which don’t.
