For the most part, I followed ishi’s modifications. I also put in a button hole every 12 rows to make it button all the way down.

I began with a cable cast on to keep the neck from stretching out. I then knit the yoke according to the original Shalom pattern (did not shorten yoke ribbing as ishi did).

I then divided the stitches for the sleeves per ishi: 28 sts for front, 33 on waste yarn for sleeve, back 47, 33 on waste yarn for sleeve, front 28 (169 sts total). Then, per ishi, I worked back and forth across the back stitches only for 8 rows to lengthen back and keep it from riding up.

I then worked across first front section, cast on 10 sts, worked across back, cast on 10 and worked 2nd front. Continued per Shalom pattern but did no waist shaping. Finished with 8 rows garter stitch on hem.

For sleeves, I picked up the 6 sts from back selvage edge, 11 sts from underarm and knit across the top 33 that had been on waste yarn, I put in a marker at center of underarm to mark decrease point and decreased 1 stitch every 6 rows until I got down to 36 stitches. Then worked straight to desired length, finishing with 8 rows garter stitch on hem.
