Count the stitches on the sleeves (the part that will go over the top of the arm, between each side's front and back markers). Youll work a pyramid picot edge onthe sleeves (see special stitches) which needs 6 stitches per pyramid, plus one SC at the end, so you need a multiple of +1 (e.g. 7 pyramids x 6 st = 42 + I gives 43 stitches in total per sleeve). For small sizes, you'l have 6 of 7 pyramids, so 37 or 43 stitches (oossbiy fewer for tiny sizes) Larger sizes: 8 pyramids ~ 49 s,9 pyramids ~ 55st, 10 pyramids ~ 6st and so on Move the stitch markers so that you have the correct number of stitches on each sleeve.
