sophisticated raglan decrease and three quarter arms and goes well with pants and skirts.

Place markers after 36 s and 108 s to mark the sides. (= 72 s each for the front and back) Change to

US 6 needles and continue in stockinette until your piece measures 12

On the next round, bind off 3 s on each side of each marker. (= 132 s) Put aside while making the

arms.
