Armpits too low
So when I reach up my sleeves and body are too short but with arms down everything else is right. I'm not tearing it back, that would be starting over, it just won't be my reaching for stuff sweater.

Top down raglan increased every other row. The arms and body are the right diameters.

So I'm thinking the fix for the next one is to increase every row with as many extra rows of increases as the armpits are rows too low and then go back into increasing every other row until I get the right amount of stitches for the diameter.

Or increase every other until it's time to shoot over for the armpits and then start doubling, but that sounds like it will require more math.

Does that sound right?

A small update. It's finally out of the dryer.

The arms are baggy at the top enough I could pin them at the armpit and they're not too tight.
I couldn't take enough out of the chest to make up for the armpits being low.

So I guess take some from the arms at the collar, give to the chest at the collar.
Increase the increase ratio either evenly (*inc 1r, k 1r, inc 2r, k 1r*) or in two sections (as I described above) and end the increasing closer to my actual armpits.
