I skipped rows 9-12.

Since one of those was an increase row, I had to adjust the numbers when I divided for the sleeves. I used these numbers: 8-12-16-12-8 (32 after sleeves were put on waste yarn)

I continued in pattern adjusting for fewer stitches until row 21 where I did a m1 before the last two stitches to give me 42 stitches. I needed a number divisible by three for the skirt portion.

On round 8 I switched to CC, switched back to MC on round 10 which I did all K.

Here is where I began the pleated skirt following Doll clothes Yoke Pleated Skirt starting at row 10 and doing 14 repeats instead of 12.
