Notes

Needed to make it a little longer for her back, a little looser (although.. I think it might be too loose) and I also shaped the chest this time.

Once again I made a k1p1 turtle neck and carried on the k1p1 ribbing for the back and belly panels and for the side increasing panels I just knit a plain stocking stitch. Also, once again, I did not make the hole for the harness ring.

Tubular Cast on 75 st 3 rows with 3.5 needle
Join last stitch to first stitch knitting the two together (74st)

Change to 4mm needles

Knit 14 rounds of k1 p1 ribbing

pm for BOR, k1p1 21st, pm, p1, k7, p1, pm, k1p1 35 st, pm, p1, k 7, p1 pm (74st)

Rnd 2 (inc rnd): Work ribbing over 21sts, sm, p1, m1L, k to 1 st before m, p1, sm, work ribbing over 35 sts, sm, p1, k to 1 st before end, m1R, p1. (2 sts inc to make 76st)

Rnd 3: Work ribbing over 21sts, sm, p1, k to 1 st before m, p1, sm, work ribbing over 35 sts, sm, p1, k to 1 st before end, p1.

Repeat rounds 2 and 3 until you have 25 sts in each of the two increasing sections between markers. (21 rib sts, p1, k23, p1, 35 rib sts, p1, k23, p1) You should now have 106 sts total.

Work 3 rnds in garter stitch, beginning and ending with a purl rnd. Bind off knitwise.

Use 3.5mm needle to pick up body stitches and make leg holes.

Pick up and k20 purl bumps, cast on 13sts using cable cast-on, skip 14, purl bumps, pick up 58 purl bumps, cast on 13sts using cable cast-on, skip 14 purl bumps. Place marker for BOR. (104st)
