Continue work for 12 cm, or until you get to underarm.

work with the pattern to ch space, ch3 and dc in the next ch space. we chave separate the sleeves from the body.

skip all stitches for the sleeves and work directly into the next ch space. continue dc to ch2 space then do the same thing, skip all stitches for the sleeves and in the next ch2 space dc for each dc.

Now work the body only, no more increase. You can continue with dc only.
