Length of back to underarm, 14 inches. Add 45 stitches for sleeve. Knit
across to end of other needle, add 45 stitches for other sleeve.
Continue for 4 inches. Bind off 10 stitches in middle of sweater for
neck. Knit 6 rows. Then, for opening in front, add 1 stitch every three
rows until 10 stitches are added, which completes V neck. Repeat for
other shoulder and front. Bind off 45 stitches for each sleeve, and knit
front all in one, like back, finishing with 6 rows plain knitting.
For cuff, pick up stitches at end of sleeves, on four needles, and knit
2 purl 2 plain, for 3 inches. Sew up under arms and sleeves. Add loosely
crocheted finish to neck, leaving opening large enough to pull easily
over head.
This sweater is like a cross in form, before sewing together. Care
should be taken that sleeves are not too wide.
