About the Worksheets
Oh it's my favorite part! You don't need to be any kind of math whiz to whip up these worksheets. Take your time and rewatch as needed. It's all fill-in-the-blank. Be sure you watch this short segment before beginning any of the Worksheets; it includes all the background info you need to know to be successful. All examples are worked in Size 1 with the same sample measurements as provided in your Answer Key Workbook.

Perfect Sleeve Length Worksheet
This simple worksheet will calculate your perfect sleeve length, every time. It accounts for your ease along with the other components of your sweater! When we took our Body Measurements, remember how I didn't have you measure your underarm? That's because your Sleeve Length changes based on how the other pieces of your sweater fit. In general, more ease = shorter sleeve length. Never start sleeves again before working this quick handout.
