    The sizing in the pattern is for Small, Medium, Medium/Large, Large, 1X, 2X but the sizing on the sleeve chart is for Extra Small, Small, Medium, Large, 1X, 2X – I’m guessing that they line up, but you may want to adjust one or the other 🙂

    Also, does the schematic include the length of the ribbing? My arm is easily 20″ from armpit to cuff and I’m not that big!

    Thanks!
