Single stitch for the rest of the sweater.
DIRECTIONS.
To make the body of the sweater, follow the directions given for the boy’s slipover sweater in [Chapter 8], with the following changes:
1. Knit the bands at the bottom with double stitch instead of triple stitch, and the body of the sweater with single stitch instead of double.
2. Cast off only sixteen nails at the back of the neck, eight in each row. (See [section 11], Chapter 8.)
3. Leave the sweater open all the way down the front; that is, continue using two balls of yarn, and wind from the sides to the center only and back to the sides. (See [section 16], Chapter 8.)
To Knit the Sleeves ([Fig. 42.])
1. Begin to knit the sleeve at the top. Cast stitches on sixteen nails in the center of the rake, eight nails in each row.
2. Using the single stitch, add two nails in each winding until about 60 nails are in use, 30 nails in each row. The sleeve should measure about 10 inches at E F, [Fig. 42].
3. Knit five rows, then cast a stitch off one nail on one side of the sleeve.
