1st Row.—Cast off 2 st, k to the end of the row.
2nd Row.—Slip 1, p to the end of the row.
3rd Row.—Cast off 2 st, k to the end of the row.
4th Row.—Slip 1, p to the end of the row, then cast on 6 st to form the front border.
On these 36 st work 30 rows, a plain and a purl row alternately, working the 6 border st plain in every row, and slipping the 1st st when turning from the armhole edge.
In the next row increase 1 st in the 7th st. Work 35 more rows, and increase 1 st in the 7th st from the border edge in every 6th row.
