When you see these words in a pattern: “knit or crochet to desired length,” this is the place to make adjustments. You can add additional rows to lengthen say a sleeve or if you think the sleeve is too long to gently rip back the necessary rows. It's always a good idea to measure your knitting or crocheting frequently.
