I don't see em in the pattern...or am I just not reading it correctly? I
like the sweater and it will make great Christmas gifts for my nieces.

Looks to me if you knit it from top downwards.
The cast off stitches at the end of those 8 rows form the sleeves, then
you carry on to knit the body.
Just my view.

bulky so I will just have see what happens.

The sleeves are 3/4 length, so 10-12 inches would be enough. If you
wanted more, CO for the larger size (or more), and BO more sts.
