Next Rw: p 1 for right front, pm, p 8 (8, 8, 8, 9, 9, 9, 9, 9) for right sleeve, pm, p 24 (24, 25, 25, 26, 26, 27, 27, 27) for back,
pm (making sure to use a different color marker than other 3 markers-this is the MM and will make the begin-
ning/end of round once piece is joined and worked in the round), p 8 (8, 8, 8, 9, 9, 9, 9, 9) for right sleeve, pm, p1 for
right front.
Neck Shaping:
Rw 1 (RS): kfb of 1
st
st, sm, YO, *k to 1 st before marker, YO, k1, sm, YO; repeat from * once, k to 1 st before last marker,
YO, k1, sm, kfb of last st
Rw 2 (WS): p to end, slipping markers as you reach them
Rw 3: *k to 1 st before marker, YO, k1, sm, YO; repeat from * 3 times, k to end
Rw 4: p to end, slipping markers as you reach them
Rw 5: kfb of 1st st, *k to 1 st before marker, YO, k1, sm, YO; repeat from * 3 times, k to last 2 sts, kfb, k1
Rw 6: p to end, slipping markers as you reach them
Rw 7: *k to 1 st before marker, YO, k1, sm, YO; repeat from * 3 times, k to end
Rw 8: p to end, slipping markers as you reach them
Repeat rws 5-8: 3 times
Stitch Count = each front: 15, each sleeve: 28 (28, 28, 28, 29, 29, 29, 29, 29), back: 44 (44, 45, 45, 46, 46, 47, 47, 47)
Joining Round:
(RS) Using knitting on CO method, CO 15 (15, 15, 15, 16, 16, 16, 16, 16) sts. Working these new sts, *k to 1 st before
marker, YO, k1, sm, YO; repeat from * 3 times, k to end. DO NOT TURN WORK. With RS of work facing you, join left and
right fronts together by knitting into 1st st on left needle (instead of turning work), making sure not to twist sts. k to MM.
Remaining Yoke
You will now be working in the round. The different color marker at the back left shoulder will mark the beginning and end of the
round. From now on it will be referred to as the MM (main marker).
Rnd 1 (non-increasing round): k to mm, slipping markers as you reach them
Rnd 2 (increasing round): *k to 1 st before marker, YO, k1, sm, YO; repeat from * 3 times
[Recommendation: because you are working in the round, it will be hard to tell which is a non-increasing round and which is an
increasing round. Using a row counter can help (or keep track of it on paper)]
Repeat rnds 1 & 2: 5 (6, 7, 8, 9, 9, 10, 11, 11) times
Last round: k to MM
Stitch Count = front: 59 (61, 63, 65, 68, 68, 70, 72, 72), each sleeve: 42 (44, 46, 48, 51, 51, 53, 55, 55), back: 58 (60, 63, 65,
