Available Sizes: This downloadable PDF pattern is available in 7 (XS – 3XL) sizes, which you can get in the shop.

CO 98 STS

(The CO STS creates the width, which is the side that goes across your shoulders, from wrist to wrist.)

Rib Stitch Collar Top, about 2” (6cm):

Row 1: *K1, P1* K1

Row 2: *P1, K1* P1

Repeat rows 1-2, 2 more times

Row 7: *K1, P1* K1 (repeat row 1)

Lace Stitch Body

Row 1 (RS): K1 *K2TOG, YO* K1

Row 2 & 4 (WS): *P*

Row 3 (RS): K1 *YO, K2TOG* K1

Repeat rows 1-4 until it measures____ from the beginning or until desired length.

Regular Height: 28″ (71cm)

Tall Height: 34″ (86cm)

Rib Stitch Collar Bottom, about 2” (6cm):

Row 1: *K1, P1* K1

Row 2: *P1, K1* P1

Repeat rows 1-2, 2 more times

Row 7: BO in all knit stitches.

This is knit from top to bottom, so it’s super easy to adjust the length.

Steam-block lightly to relax the stitches.

Lay flat, bring the short sides together and sew about 6” (15cm) from the end up  to create the arm holes.

Sleeves (optional):

I used 26 STS for my sleeves. I knit them in the *K1, P1* pattern.

Add the second sleeve.

Weave in the ends and it’s ready to wear ;)

Expert Tips

I quickly learned that I usually added an extra YO or missed the last YO on a row.

There are a lot of STS and I didn’t want to count them at the end of every even row, so when I came to the end of row I’d look back and see what my second stitch was.

If it was a K2TOG I knew that I needed to add a YO before the K1 at the end.

If the second stitch was a YO then I knew I needed to end the row on a K2TOG, K1.

I hope that helps.

For example:
Row 1: K1 *K2TOG, YO* K1 {make sure the 2nd to last stitch is a YO}
Row 2 & 4: *P*
Row 3: K1 *YO, K2TOG* K1 {make sure the 2nd to last stitch is a K2TOG}

I still ended up doing a lot of counting on my purl rows to double check to make sure I was right… and if I miscounted I counted again to triple check!

I counted a lot on this pattern.
