How it is knitted
Knitted in the round from the bottom up. The body is cast on with 144 (162, 174, 192) stitches on the 4.5 mm circular, knitted in k4, p2 rib for 3.5 cm and then in stocking stitch to 34 (35, 36, 37) cm. The sleeves are cast on with 36 (42, 42, 48) stitches on 4 mm double-pointed needles, knitted in the same rib for 5 cm, increased to 46 (48, 49, 52) on 4.5 mm and then every 14th round to 56 (58, 59, 62). Body and sleeves are joined for the round yoke, 224 (240, 256, 272) stitches, and the 50-round chart — a 16-stitch repeat with six decrease rounds — takes it to 70 (75, 80, 85); the smaller sizes leave out marked rounds. The pink is two strands of Einband held together. The neck is decreased to 68 (72, 76, 80) stitches and knitted in k4, p2 rib for 4 cm on 4.5 mm, then bound off loosely, and the underarms are grafted.
