Notes on Resizing: As the pattern is currently written, the sleeves occur about 9.5" from the center of the circle, when each of the 8 sections of the circle are 1 V st and 39 dcs (about 10.5") wide, and thus, the top of each sleeve is 10.5" wide. For a smaller garment, with narrower sleeves, you would break for the sleeves sooner, and for a larger garment, with roomier sleeves, you would break for the sleeves later. The point at which you break for the sleeves will also affect the width of your center back, between the two sleeves – breaking for the sleeves when the radius of the circle is less than 10.5" will result in a narrower center back, and crocheting beyond the point where the radius of the circle is 10.5" will result in a wider center back measurement. Abbreviations: beg - beginning, blo - back loop only, ch - chain, dc - double crochet, lp - loop, rep - repeat, rnd - round, RS - right side, sc – single crochet, sl st – slip stitch, sp – space, st - stitch, tr - treble crochet, yo - yarn over.
