That Girl! KAL: Which Sleeve?!
Start the wrong side facing and your collar on top, look for the first row of stockinette after the seed collar. I’m almost finished, but I still haven’t committed to a sleeve. I knit one of each and I’m parading around in the mirror trying to decide.
Voila!

It’s fastest in crochet, but you can produce the exact same effect by knitting.
You’ll need an H/8 crochert hook or US 8 knitting needle. I’m a loose knitter, especially in seed stitch, and I noticed my collar was starting to stretch over time.
To crochet, working one stitch through each purl bump, work one row of slip stitch.
To knit, pick up and immediately bind off one stitch through each purl bum across the row. In fact, you can get this length of the collarless, mini-sleeve variation out of a mere 4 balls of yarn.
I also have a great tip for people knitting the original, collared version. Having problems? Here’s a very quick way to stabilize the collar, and it has the added bonus of defining the fold. It will be the first row that’s composed completely of purl stitches.
Nikol here. The wee sleeve variations eat very little yarn, so I’m making the torso longer, which I think suits the plainer version.
