Work stockinette st until the piece measures 29(30)31(33)35(36)37(38) cm from the armhole (or desired length). Work ribbing for 10 rounds and bind off in pattern. Note: Use the 8 mm needles if you prefer a tighter ribbing in the hem.
Sleeves

Work stockinette st in the round; on the next round, decrease the extra sts you picked up on both sides of the cast-on by k2tog = 30(32)33(35)38(40)42(43) sts.
Place marker at the midpoint of the underarm and work stockinette st. When the sleeve measures 8(6)7(5)5(4)4(4) cm, k2tog at the beginning of the next round and work to end. Repeat the decrease every 8(6)7(5)5(4)4(3.5) cm 3(5)4(6)7(9)9(10) more times. Note: Decrease alternately at the beginning and end of round. 26(26)28(28)30(30)32(32) sts on the needles after the decreases.
When the sleeve measures 39(40)40(41)42(43)43(44) cm from the underarm (or desired length), switch to the 8 mm double-pointed needles and work 10 rounds in 1x1 ribbing. Bind off in pattern.
