Size

This pattern is written in three sizes: Small (32-34" chest), Medium (36-38" chest), Large (40-42" chest).

Instructions

1. Using Color A, cast on 100 (110, 120) stitches.
2. Work in 2x2 ribbing (K2, P2) for 2 inches.
3. Switch to stockinette stitch and begin striped pattern:

Row 1 (RS): With Color A, knit.
Row 2 (WS): With Color A, purl.
Row 3 (RS): With Color B, knit.
Row 4 (WS): With Color B, purl.
Repeat these 4 rows until piece measures 16 (17, 18) inches from cast-on edge, ending with a WS row.

4. Shape armholes:

Bind off 4 (5, 6) stitches at the beginning of the next 2 rows. Decrease 1 stitch at each armhole edge every other row 3 (4, 5) times. Continue in stockinette stitch until armholes measure 8 (8.5, 9) inches, ending with a WS row.

5. Shape neck:

Knit across 44 (48, 52) stitches, place center 12 (14, 16) stitches on holder, join second ball of yarn and knit across remaining 44 (48, 52) stitches. Working both sides at the same time, decrease 1 stitch at each neck edge every other row 3 times. Continue even until armholes measure the same as back, ending with a WS row.

6. Join shoulders:

With right sides together, use the three-needle bind off method to join shoulder seams.
