NOTES
SKILL LEVEL: Intermediate
Work the chest (front and back) in round, until the armholes. Work top of back and front in back-and-forth rows, separately.
MEASURES
SIZE: S (M; L)
POINTS USED
Rib 6/4 in round: (k6, p4) rep. across the entire r. and every next r.
Open-work ribs: follow the instructions.
ssk (slip, slip, knit 2 slipped stitch together): slip 1 k-wise, slip next st. k-wise, move these 2 sts. on left needle and knit them together through back loop.
Loose binding off: bind off working the stitches as they appear. Slip 1a st. k-wise or p-wise (as it appears), knit or purl next st., pass slipped st. over knit or purl st. (knit or purl next st., pass 1st st. over the 2nd st. of right needle) rep. as many times as necessary.
3 needles bind off: use this technique for shoulders stitches binding off.Distribute the sts. of back and front shoulder over two different knitting needles (base needles), put them beside (RS against RS) and, using a third knitting needle (working needle), insert its point in 1st st. of front needle and in 1st st. of back needle, then knit them together, (insert the working needle in next st. of both needles and k2tog, pass 1st worked st. over the 2nd st. of working needle); rep. until you have bound off all sts.
