Enter the gauge you are using so measurements can become stitches and rows.
What the instructions knit
Drawn from the counted stitches and rows and your gauge, as knitted with the cast on edge at the bottom. A model read the lines, so check it against your own idea of the piece.
Instructions
Step 1: Front
Cast on 94 stitches with E wrap or Latch tool cast on method.
Knit 139 rows.
Shape the armholes:
Bind off 3 stitches at the beginning of the next 2 rows.
Then decrease 1 stitch at each side every 2 rows, 3 times.
Knit straight until the row counter reaches 217 rows.
Shape the neckline
Place half of the stitches on hold, keeping the held stitches on the side opposite the carriage.
Work 9 rows. From the neckline edge, place 3 additional stitches on hold every row, working from the inside toward the outside.
Repeat the same neckline shaping on the other side.
Return all needles to working position and knit 3 rows across all stitches.
Bind off.
Step 2: Back
Cast on 94 stitches with E wrap or Latch tool cast on method.
Knit 139 rows.
Shape the armholes:
Bind off 3 stitches at the beginning of the next 2 rows.
Then decrease 1 stitch at each side every 2 rows, 3 times.
Knit straight until the row counter reaches 226 rows.
Knit 3 more rows.
Bind off all stitches.
Step 3: Sleeves -make 2
Cast on 96 stitches with an open cast on method ( I like to do a comb cast on)
Decrease: on both sides, every 11th row, 5 times, then every 12th row, 7 times . Continue until 139 rows are knitted.
Reset the row counter to 000.
Increase: on both sides, every 38th row, once, then every 39th row, 2 times . Continue until 116 rows are knitted.
Bind off all stitches.
Make the second sleeve in the same way.
Step 4: Assembly
Sew the front and back pieces together at both shoulders, leaving an opening of 7.9 in/inches between the shoulder seams for the neckline.
Sew the sleeves onto the armholes.
Sew the side seams of the front and back pieces, starting at the bottom of the top and continuing up to the underarm.
Continue sewing along the sleeve seams from the underarm to the cuffs.
Weave in all ends.
