5th Row—Raise a loop, increase, raise 7 loops, increase again, raise 2 loops. Work back.
6th row—Raise a loop, increase, then raise all the loops to within two of the end; increase again, and raise the two last loops. Work back. The work should be loose. As a guide for the size of the stitch, the last row should measure 4 inches across, and these 6 rows 2½ inches in depth.
Work 5 rows more the same as the 6th row.
12th row—Raise all the loops without increasing, and work back.
Work 4 rows as the 6th row, that is increasing 2 stitches each row, and then work every 5th row without increasing until 37 rows in all are worked, when there will be 65 stitches.
Work 4 rows without shaping. If for an extra size a few more rows may be added here, and also at the plain rows on each shoulder. This finishes the back.
To Shape the Right Front—1st row—Raise all the loops of the last row until there are 28 on the needle. Work back.
2nd and 3rd rows—Raise all the loops to the two last, then decrease by taking these loops together as one stitch. Work back.
4th row—Raise a loop, then decrease as before, raise the rest to the end. Work back.
Then work 4 rows plain without shaping.
