Notes

Knit the sleeves flat and seam? No way!

MODS: Knit to dividing row as written then:

K 29 (Left Front)
CO 4 for underarm
Place 34 sleeve st on holder
K back
CO 4 for underarm
Place 34 sleeve st on holder
K 29 (Right Front)

Then work down evenly.

No chart provided. Will make again but make a chart for the yoke. I dig them more.

Sleeves:

Place 34 set aside- sleeve sts on needle, set up for magic loop. Beginning at center of underarm, join yarn and PU 4 sts, knit across 34, PU 4 more.

1) P1, P2tog, P to last three sts, P2tog, P1
2) K1, K2 tog, K to last three, K2tog, K
3) Repeat row one
4) Repeat row two (35 sts total)

Place marker on third garter ridge from last YO of leaf pattern on yoke.

K 13 garter ridges
Purl one row
Change to #5 needle and K3, K2tog around (28 sts)

Continue to K/P for 7 more rows
Purl one row
BO in knit loosely.
