Sleeves:
Using the US#9, 16” circular or US #9 DPNs move sleeve stitches from holder to needles. Pick up 6 (8, 8, 9, 12, 16, 20) stitches under the arm. NOTE: This is two more stitches than you cast on the body section. Usually this opening stretches just a little. You pick up 2 more stitches than you cast on to close up any gaps.

and a short note from cathi~
I have seen some of your sweaters and have to say, they are lovely!  Thanks for sharing!
Some are asking about lengthening the sleeves and like I have told them, "of course you can!"...The sleeve is wide at the bottom, so you will have more of a kimono look.
You might have guessed that we are coming to an end on this project.  Next week will be your final post!  Just the button band to go!
Keep knitting and enjoy the journey!!
