Collar­to­Underarm refers to the distance from

your cast on row to the point in the pattern where
you will separate the sweater into three sections
for the arms and chest. It is effectively the
distance from your collar to where the underarms
of the sweater will fall, and should be measured
straight down from the collar, NOT along the
increase lines.
