Notes

Top down set in sleeves, cowl neck jumper.
Gauge: 20sts/4inches (5sts/inch)
Fabric is biasing slightly due to me replying this yarn without washing, but washed swatch has almost no bias, so I’m not worrying.
Finished but still needs washing to remove bias.

Completely Restarted May 2013 (previous version way too big)

shoulder to shoulder 16’’
back neck 10’’
high bust 50’’
upper arm 17.5’’

co: 48sts
3sts for shoulder seams

Cuffs and bottom edge worked as 1x1 twisted rib for 6rows then stretchy cast off.

Picked up stitches and added a cowl neck, first in st st, then in twisted 1x1 rib to fold over, working more loosely towards edge to allow it to fail. Cast off with stretchy cast off using 2 strands of yarn.

original instructions - fit too big, baggy shoulders, wide neck.
Chest requires 54” - 270sts (135 for back and for front)
Sleeves require 20” - 100sts each
CO56.
2increases for each shoulder every row, plus 8increases in back.
continue shoulder increases until shoulders are wide enough 18.5”.
While working a round neck.
Create Y shape for shoulder increases, now increasing 2sts either side of each shoulder (8sts per round) every round. Cease front and back increases when they each measure 24sts(4-5inches) short of chest size. (111sts each)
Cease sleeve increases when each sleeve has 88sts.
Work straight (no increases) until armscye measures 8”.
Inc for body every other row either side of sleeves 6times.
Front & Back have 123sts each. Sleeves have 88sts each.
Seperate sleeves, CO 12sts under each arm and put sleeves on waste yarn.
