      Hi Michelle I hated the rose buds and nearly threw it out into the fields 🙄once I got passed them I was ok, I think the wording in the pattern is the problem I lost count how many times I had to re read it, it’s not one I’ll rush back to

      Normally if you want to extend ,the sleeve length you can add extra rows after the increase for the sleeve width but before the armhole shaping - I hopethis helps you
      FYI I knitted the pattern as printed

        From the pattern “Inc 1 st at each end of next and foll 8 [3: 0: 0] alt rows, then on 2 [7: 11: 5] foll 4th rows, then on 0 [0: 0: 6] foll 6th rows.
        47 [49: 53: 55] sts.
        Work 3 [3: 5: 5] rows, ending with a ws row. “
        Just check you have increased 1 stitch at each end of every other row 8 times
        Then you have increased 1 stitch at each end of the next 4th row and the following 4th row
        Then work 3 rows without increasing
        27 rows from the rib and before the arm hole shaping - I didn’t think the pattern was written as clearly as it might have been but this might help you

      Hi, I love your little jacket, & I'm knitting this pattern in the smallest size, but the sleeves seem tiny. Can they be extended?

        @Regina H: I take it you’re working The back first
        After completing the rosebud pattern
        There are about 26 rows of stocking stitch you should then have the rs facing to start following the chart for the hearts at row 1 work row 1 and 2 of heart pattern
        At the beginning of row 3 on the heart pattern decrease 1 stitch
        Do the same on row 9 and 15 of the heart pattern
        Work row 16 of the heart pattern
        Then work two more rows
        Then start the shaping for the armholes
        Hope this helps
