have been added, then cast on 10 stitches toward the underarm, making 60
stitches on the needle (about 12 inches). Knit on the 60 stitches for
9 1/2 inches, then increase 1 stitch every 8th row toward the underarm-
or side-seam, until the latter is of the same length as that of the
back, including the 2 inches. Do not bind off. Knit other front to
correspond and sew up side-seams.
With a needle pick up 1 stitch from each ridge on front (have an uneven
number of stitches on needle), and on another spare needle pick up the
stitches across the back; on another pick up the stitches of front,
having the same number of stitches on needle; tie a thread in 1st stitch
on needle at bottom of each front, toward the front, which will be the
corner stitch.
1. With bone needles No. 5 start at top of left front, knit 1, * over,
narrow, repeat from * to the corner stitch, over, knit the corner
stitch, again repeat from * to next corner, over, knit corner stitch,
repeat from * until but 1 stitch remains, over, knit last stitch.
2. Knit plain, each "over" forming a stitch to take the place of
narrowed one.
3. Knit to corner stitch, over, knit corner stitch, over, knit to next
corner stitch, over, knit corner stitch, over, and knit plain to end of
row.
Repeat 2d and 3d rows until there are 4 ridges or 9 rows from the
beginning.
In next row make the buttonholes thus: Knit 2 stitches from the neck,
bind off 4 stitches for the buttonhole, then knit 13, bind off 4, and
repeat, making 8 buttonholes 13 stitches apart. In next row cast on 4
stitches over where they were bound off, then repeat 2d and 3d rows for
4 more ridges, and bind off.
Sleeves.--Cast on 34 stitches (about 7 1/2 inches); knit in ridges,
casting on 2 stitches at each end of needle every other row until there
are 74 stitches on needle (about 15 inches), knit 1 inch, then decrease
1 stitch at each end of needle every 12th row until there are 56
stitches remaining on needle, knit on these until the sleeves measure 17
inches, or desired length, (knit 1 row, purl 1 row) twice, knit 13
ridges for cuff, then with gray Angora and No. 3 needles knit 7 ridges,
bind off, and sew up sleeves and cuffs.
Collar.--Using the dark rose pick up 84 stitches around neck of sweater
