Confused Crafty Pets lesley Taylor Jan 08 2020 The jumper mum is knitting is going to have a dropped sleeve. I initially thought that this was a little careless and also that it really ought to have two, dropped or otherwise. Apparently though it is a style of sleeve which means that on the front and back there is a bit of shaping at the armhole start then not a lot until the top. Another type of shaping is a raglan which steadily decreases to form a slope from the armhole up to the top. Aunty Biscuit that a raglan was named after an Earl, so I am now wondering whether a dropped sleeve was named after a type of scone although I suspect not. mmmm
