Notice that sleeves are knitted in rounds and you must use circular needles and 1 stitch marker. From armpit to bottom Next round Continue work in stockinette and move both sleeves stitches on the scrap yarn. 2 sts which were between stitch markers leave on the needle and place them on a scrap yarn together with sleeve stitches - it means that these 2 sts will be used for knitting the body and the sleeves. It is very important because it will help to avoid hole in armpit. It must be done with all 2 stitches between stitch markers. Total mount of stitches on needle: 120(128)134(142)148(156)162(170)sts.

Notice that sleeves are knitted in rounds and you must use circular needles and 1 stitch marker. Total amount of stitches on needle: 41(46)51(56)61(66)71(76)sts. Rounds 1-54(56)58(60)61(61)62(62) K to end. Next 30 rows knit in rib stitch (k2,p2). (Notice that here are knitted rows not rounds). Cast off. Right sleeve From armpit to cuff Repeat the same steps like for Left sleeve.
