How to work a sleeve to a garment with European shoulder with short rows
Insert 1 marker on the top of armhole (NB: This is not where the stitches were knitted up for the front piece, but a few cm down on the front piece, this is the middle of the shoulder).
Start in the middle of the new stitches cast on under sleeve and pick up the number of stitches it says in the pattern around the armhole – adjust so that there are the same number of stitches along armhole on each side of the marker. Now work stocking stitch back and forth with short rows over sleeve cap, to give the sleeve a better fit.
Then work in the round with decreases under the sleeve. Follow the description in the pattern on how to work short rows, how and how many decreases, how long the sleeve should be and the rib.

Es werden also nicht die "german short row- oder wrap and turn Methode "angewendet ? Entstehen dann nicht Löcher an den Wendestellen ? Danke für Antwort.

Liebe Pollyhop, wenn man die verkürzten Reihen mit dieser Technick strickt, soll man der Faden festziehen, damit kein Loch entsteht - siehe Video, aber gerne können Sie auch irgendwelche Technik benutzen. Viel Spaß beim stricken!
