Directions:
With green yarn cast on 88 sts., knit 8 ridges plain. Knit 4 needles in
ribbing of 4 plain and 4 purl. Knit the next 4 needles in same ribbing,
but alternate the plain to the purl and the purl to the plain, thereby
forming the block pattern. Continue in this manner in block pattern
until there are 4 sets of blocks, then knit plain for 57 ridges,
decreasing 1 st. at the beginning and end of every 8th ridge for 6
times, so that only 76 sts. will remain on needle. Cast on 50 sts. on
each side of work for sleeves. Knit 22 ridges on these 176 sts. The work
now reaches to the neck. Knit 79 sts. and put on a safety pin, bind off
18 for neck, and knit one ridge on the other 79 sts. Then add one st. in
every ridge at front for V neck for 20 ridges. When sleeves are 44
ridges wide in all bind off the 50 sts. of sleeve and knit on the
remaining 49 sts. for 57 ridges, at the same time increasing 1 st. at
under-arm side of work in every 8th ridge for 6 times. There will then
be 55 sts. on needle. Knit the 4 blocks in pattern like on back, then
the 8 plain ridges. Bind off loosely, and take other 79 sts. off pin at
neck, and work second front in same manner. Sew up under-arm and sleeve
seams.
