This is the beginning of the arm-hole. Knit 2 together at the
beginning of each row at the arm-hole, until it is reduced to 37
stitches; knit 32 rows without increasing or diminishing; cast off
10 stitches from the front, knit a stitch, knit 2 together. Continue

knit a plain row, cast off, take up the stitches down one side of
the spencer, knit 3 rows at one side, knit 3 stitches from the

the row, knit 5 rows, cast off; at the other side knit 3 rows, knit
3 stitches from the bottom as before, bring the wool forward, knit
2 together, knit 10, make 1 stitch, knit 10, make 1 more, knit 10,
make 1, knit 10, make another stitch, knit to the end.

For the button-holes, knit 5 rows, cast off, sew the back and

6, make a stitch. Continue to make a stitch, and knit 6 between,
