Continue last two rows until work between first and second markers are 1 1/2 inches shorter across than the circumference of you upper arm. (for me, when i continue until it is the same length as the circumference of my arm it turns out way too big.) then, continue as follows.
Knit 2, purl to first marker, slip stitches in between first and second markers on scrap yarn. purl across to third marker and slip stitches in between third and fourth marker on scrap yarn.
Back and front finishing

Sleeves
