the other to match it.

The front. Cast on 64 stitches, knit 16 rows, making holes in the 8th
row as before directed, then increase by making 2 stitches in 1 six
times every other row, about 14 stitches from the beginning and end of
the row. Knit a row. Knit 6 stitches backwards and forwards decreasing a
stitch every other row (with the needle on which the other stitches are)
until only 2 are left; cast them off: if the wool be left loose it need
not be broken off. Knit the stitches on the needle and make the other
end like that which is finished. Knit 28 rows, gradually decreasing
until only 36 stitches are left; then knit 12 stitches backwards and
forwards for 24 rows, cast off the 12 stitches and repeat the same at
the other end of the row. Sew on the backs, take up the stitches down
the back, knit 6 rows and cast off. On one side leave holes for the
buttonholes. Take up the stitches round the neck, knit 4 rows, make
holes for the string, knit 4 rows and cast off.

The sleeve. Cast on 16 stitches. Increase gradually until you think it
wide enough; decrease towards the wrist, knit and rib 2 stitches
alternately for about an inch, and finish with 4 plain rows.
