3. START DRAFTING YOUR SLEEVE
a. Fold your pattern paper in half lengthwise as shown; you’ll be drafting on the fold so that your pattern is symmetrical.
b. Along the foldline, mark points indicating the length of your arm from the shoulder point (top) to the wrist (bottom).
c. Square a line at the top point
d. From the top, measure down and mark your armhole depth (the number you figured out in step 2).
e. Square a bicep line out from the armhole depth that is half your adjusted bicep circumference.
f. Measure down the foldline and mark your elbow point. Draw a line half your adjusted elbow circumference.
g. Square a line at the wrist point from the fold. Draw a line that is half the adjusted wrist circumference.
h. Draw the underarm seam by connecting the bicep and elbow marks in a straight line that connects to the wrist line as shown.

c. Square a line at the top point
d. From the top, measure down and mark your armhole depth (the number you figured out in step 2).
e. Square a bicep line out from the armhole depth that is half your adjusted bicep circumference.
f. Measure down the foldline and mark your elbow point. Draw a line half your adjusted elbow circumference.
g. Square a line at the wrist point from the fold. Draw a line that is half the adjusted wrist circumference.
h. Draw the underarm seam by connecting the bicep and elbow marks in a straight line that connects to the wrist line as shown.

4. FOLD YOUR PATTERN
Turn the folded edge of the paper to the underarm seam. Crease the paper to create a one-quarter marking line and then open it back up again.

5. CREATE THE SLEEVE-CAP
a. Now that you’ve made the basic shape of the sleeve, you’ll draw the top edge of the sleeve, which is called the “sleeve-cap.” To start, place marks 1/4 to 1/2 inch on each side of the center line at the top of the sleeve and 1 inch inward from the underarm seam on the bicep line.
b. From the bicep line, measure up from the center line one-half the armhole depth plus 3/4 inch and mark a point.
c. Square a guideline through the marks across the sleeve and then mark line intersections.
b. From the bicep line, measure up from the center line one-half the armhole depth plus 3/4 inch and mark a point.
c. Square a guideline through the marks across the sleeve and then mark line intersections.

d. Connect the various points with straight lines as shown to form the sleeve-cap guidelines.
 | Connect the dots to form the sleeve-cap. |
e. Mark a halfway point on each of the sleeve-cap guidelines.
 | Measure and mark halfway points. |
f. Measure in and out at each of the halfway points as shown. Using a French curve, connect the dots with a smooth, continuous curve. The dots are merely guides, you don’t have to touch each one with your curve. Just try to not make any sharp points in the cap.
