How much yarn for the sleeves?

Hi, I’m new to the forum and a new knitter I’m knitting a jumper in basket weave stitch. I have used 350gr for the back ( 3 and a half skeins). How much will I need for the sleeves? Thank you!

Welcome to the forum!
What is the name of your pattern and designer?
A rule of thumb is that it takes 1/3 of your yarn for the back, 1/3 for the front and 1/3 for the sleeves. So that would mean about 3.5 skeins in your case. Of course this is dependent on your pattern, type of stitches used and any additions to the sweater.

Thank you very much! I am following very loosely a Patons Shetland Chunky which I’m knitting in basket weave ( the pattern is in stockinette stitch) and using Cascade 220 yarn, knitting in size 6 mm needles.

According to what you say I’ll be 50 gr short! Will have to introduce some stripes on the sleeves.

Thank you again,

Judith

Good luck with the sweater and the stripes. Remember, this is an estimate of yarn usage.
