Most garments are worked in one piece; either top down, or bottom up with shoulder seams.
Sleeves are usually set-in (stitches are picked up around armhole) and worked in the round from
shoulder to cuff. Optional short rows at top of sleeve give a tailored look and a trimmer fit.
All patterns give inch and metric measurements and have helpful charts, diagrams, and stitch guides.
