=SHAPE SHOULDERS=: Bind off 7 (8) sts at beg of next 4 rows.

=FRONT=: Work same as back.

=SLEEVES=: With No. 10 needles cast on 39 sts, change to No. 8 needles, work in P3, K3 ribbing for 3 inches. Change to No. 10 needles, continue in ribbing, inc 1 st each side every inch 12 (14) times; 63 (67) sts. Work even in ribbing until sleeve measures 18 (19) inches from beg, or length desired to underarm. =SHAPE CAP=: Bind off 6 sts at beg of next 2 rows. Dec 1 st at beg of each row until 29 sts remain (both sizes). Bind off 4 sts at beg of next 4 rows. Bind off remaining sts.

=FINISHING=: Steam each section lightly. Sew shoulder, side and sleeve seams. Sew sleeves in position.

=COLLAR=: Having right side facing, with dpn, placing sts evenly, attach yarn at shoulder seam, pick up 11 (13) sts on side of neck, work across sts of 1st holder, pick up 23 (25) sts on other side of neck to next st holder, work across sts of 2nd holder, pick up 12 (14) sts on remaining side of neck. Work in K1, P1, ribbing for 4 (4½) inches. Bind off in ribbing.
