Begin by knitting a swatch before you begin knitting the jacket. The swatch will help you determine whether you have the correct gauge. Should you come to find out that the jacket is still turning out too wide along the way, for example, you can choose to knit it a bit longer and also extend the sleeves a bit – this way it is simply a larger size than originally planned.
