green yarn. The buttons are knitted also.
Begin at left side front, use black yarn and No. 13 needles. Cast on 190
stitches. Divide the stitches on 2 needles and start knitting with the
3rd one, or you could use only 2 needles, carrying all the stitches on 1
needle, if you put a little sealing wax on one end of each needle to
prevent the stitches from sliding off. (Knit 1st stitch on first row and
every time, when stitches are added, slip 1st stitch on every row except
when changing the yarn, then knit 1st stitch.)
Knit 2 rows plain (2 rows make 1 rib). Let the stitches run easy on
needle. Knit 3rd row plain, add (cast on) 1 stitch and knit 4th row
plain. Make another rib and add 1 stitch on same side as before. Three
ribs (6 rows) make 1 black stripe.
Start with the green yarn (at bottom of sweater) and make 1 row plain,
add 2 stitches (at neck of sweater) and purl the stitches on next row.
Two rows make 1 green stripe.
For every turning at the bottom of sweater twist the threads around once
to keep the edge firm.

1 green stripe, adding at neck 2 stitches, until you have 7 black and 7
green stripes. Add 16 stitches to shoulder. (240 stitches is the length
of sweater.) Make 7 black and 7 green stripes.
Knit the pocket on the front part. Start with green yarn at bottom of
sweater and pick up 45 stitches in the last row of the 5th black stripe
from front edge (take up 1 stitch in each stitch of the row). Make 10
green and 9 black stripes for the pocket. Start with the black yarn, as
before, and knit pocket in with the front part (take 1 stitch from each
needle and knit as 1).
Make 2 black stripes and 1 green (9 black and 8 green stripes the width
of shoulder). Bind off 63 stitches for armhole. Make 9 green and 8 black
stripes. Add 63 stitches for back. Make 29 black and 28 green stripes
for the width of back. Knit the other side to correspond.
=Sleeve:= Cast on 50 stitches with black yarn. Knit 1 rib and add 5
stitches. Knit 3rd row plain. Start with the green (at top of sleeve)
and add 5 stitches at end of row. Repeat making the stripes, adding 5
stitches for every turning toward the bottom of sleeve, until the number
of stitches is increased by 95 (19 turnings). Add 20 more stitches (165
stitches is the length of sleeve). Make 25½ black stripes from start.
Make the green stripe, then 2 ribs of the next black stripe and start
the binding off in same order as you added.
=Border:= Make border to go around neck down the front edges. Use black
yarn, work with 2 threads of the yarn and No. 10 needles. Cast on 12
stitches. Knit plain forward and back, making the strip about 1¾ yards
long.
=Cuff:= Use black yarn (single) and No. 13 needles. Cast on 40 stitches
and knit for the length of 7 inches.
=Buttons:= Use black yarn and No. 15 needles. Cast on 30 stitches.

=5th row:= Knit 2, decrease 1.

fasten. Use the wrong side of work out, put the mould in, run a thread
through the edge, draw together and fasten.
Sew garment together.
Put the sleeves in, so that seam of sleeve comes in middle of side a
little toward the front.
Sew cuff on and turn up about 3 inches.
