Crochet Instructions

Starting at right sleeve ch 21 (24, 27), s d c in 3rd st from hook (s d c: yarn over hook, insert in st, pull loop through, yarn over and pull through all loops at one time), 1 s d c in each remaining st of ch, 20 (23, 26) s d c, ch 2, turn. Always count turning ch as 1 st. Increase 1 st each row by always working in first st after turning ch and working last st in turning ch.

Row Instructions

2nd Row: Working in lower front loop of each s d c, work 1 s d c in each s d c, 1 s d c in turning ch, ch 2, turn.

3rd Row: Working in lower back loop of sts, work 1 s d c in each s d c, 1 s d c in turning ch, ch 2, turn. Alternate these 2 rows until there are 50 (53, 56) sts including turning ch, cut yarn.

Ch 40 (43,46) work across 50 (53, 56) sts, ch 41 (44, 47).

Next Row

S c in 3rd st from hook, 1 s c in each of the next 18 sts (20 sts in all counting turning ch). Work next 20 (23, 26) sts in s d c, continue in pattern across next 50 (53, 56) sts of sleeve, 1 s d c in each of the next 20 (23, 26) sts of ch, 1 s c in each of the last 20 sts, ch 2, turn. In rows corresponding with row 2 of pattern st work in loop below front loop of s c for ribbing. It may be necessary to assist hook through this loop with fingers. In rows corresponding with 3rd row of pattern work in back loop of each s c.

To work even rows omit working in first s c of each row but continue to work last s c in turning ch. Work even for 13 (15, 17) rows always working 1st 20 sts and last 20 sts in s c, remaining sts in pattern as before.

Shoulder and Neck

Next Row: Fold work in half and mark center of shoulder, then work in pattern decreasing 1 st at center of shoulder (to decrease: * insert hook in next st, pull loop through, repeat from * once, yarn over and work off all loops at one time). Repeat the last row 3 times.
