If a differing combination of garment measurements is desired (i.e., a shorter total length with a deeper armhole depth), then use the
larger amount of estimated yarn.

Use 3 – 4.5 mm needle size (US 3 – 7) for the bottom edge of the sweater and the lower ends of the sleeves, depending on how tight the lower edges are desired to be.
