Continue until piece measures 1½ inches, ending at underarm edge. Change to No. 5 needles and work in pattern as follows:

Repeat these 4 rows for pattern, decreasing 1 st inside front border on next row and every other row thereafter until 31 sts remain. Piece should measure 8 inches in all. Cast on 36 sts at underarm edge (sleeve). Continue in pattern, making front decreases as before until 59 sts remain. Now dec. 1 st inside front border each row until 50 sts remain.
