That will give you the depth of the "sleeve attachment area" that you need on the front and the back.<BR/><BR/>If it was me, and I liked the 18/10 cm, then I would recalculate the number of stitches needed for the size you want. If it matches one of the other sizes, then you have your decreases all written out for you as well.<BR/><BR/>you are doing great! we are all just living in the mundane world right about now<BR/>-HollyHollyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15032454459129277383noreply@blogger.com
