last repeat of the right hand front, first and last repeat of
the sleeves and back and on the first repeat of the left
hand front unless they are directly followed by a k2tog
or placed directly after an ssk. It’s very helpful to have a
stitchmarker between each repeat!
If you find this difficult, please take look at Ysoldas
fantastic tutorial here:
http://ysolda.com/blog/2014/5/12/technique-thursday-
working-in-pattern-while-increasing-or-decreasing

Joining shoulders with 3
needle bind off
RS: K(11, 13, 15 ,17 ,19)sts, place needles together
pointing in the same direction with wrong side of
work facing. Using another needle the same size
bind off the sts held together.
(if you need more information, please see the
instruction on Knitty:
http://knitty.com/ISSUEfall06/FEATfall06TT.html)
Knit until (12, 14, 16,18, 20) sts remains on row, place
needles together and bind off the sts held together
the same way as for the first shoulder. Place the
remaining (21, 17, 29, 25, 37) neck stitches on scrap
yarn.
Neckband
If you are not familiar with picking up stitches along
a neck line I recommend taking a look at this link:
http://knitty.com/ISSUEspring05/FEATspr05TT.html
Using the smaller needle and with right side facing,
pick up and knit (8, 14, 12, 16, 16) sts along the right
front side. Pick up (4, 4, 4, 6, 4) sts every other row
the next (8, 8, 8, 12, 8) rows. Pick up and knit (17, 17,
24, 21, 31) stitches up along the side (pick in 2 out of
3 rows), place the (21, 17, 29, 25, 37) held neck
stitches on a needle an knit them too. Pick up and
knit (16, 16, 23, 20, 30) sts down along the side (pick
in 2 out of 3 rows), pick up (4, 4, 4, 6, 4) sts in every
other row the next (8, 8, 8, 12, 8) rows. Pick up and
knit (8, 14, 12, 16, 16) sts along the left front.
Knit one row in broken ribbing starting on a ws.
Continue in pattern, creating a button hole on the
beginning of next row. Continue until neckband
measures 2,5cm (1”). Bind off loosely using the
larger needle.
Finishing
Place held sts under each sleeve on 2 needles with rs
facing. Graft them together either using 3 needle
bind off or using kitchener stitch. Soak thoroughly and
block to dimensions. Leave to dry completely before
weaving in ends.
