Compare [Fig. 47] with [Fig. 39]. It will be seen at once that there is a great similarity.
1. Cast stitches on 144 nails, 72 in each row.
2. Knit 3 inches of triple cross-stitch.
3. Change to single stitch as described in [section 2] of Chapter 4, and knit 25½ to 28½ inches, depending on the desired length AB of the sweater. (See [Fig. 47].)
4. Cast stitches from 28 nails, fourteen in each row, in the center of the knitting to make the back of the neck (C). The knitting is now in two parts and two balls of yarn must be used.
