Get set to sail the seven seas with Ahoy, Sailor, a fine-gauge sweater with striped sleeves, a slimming shape, and an adorable nautical collar. This cool cotton sweater has great waist shaping and a shortened middy to give a nod to sailors of yore without looking costume-y. Striping inside the cuffs and bottom hem are small details that will have a big impact.

Ed. note: some errata snuck its way in between editing and printing. Curses! Changes are as follows:

Front
Start neck and armhole shaping: BO off 3 (4, 4, 5, 5) sts at the beginning of next 2 rows, BO 0 (2, 2, 3, 3) sts at the beginning of next 2 rows, then 1 stitch every other side a total of 9 (8, 9, 9, 10) times. AT THE SAME TIME, decrease 1 stitch on both side of neck every 4 rows at total of 6 (8, 8, 14, 15) times. So, for the first row: BO 4 sts, knit to 3 sts before marker, K2TOG, K1. Attach new ball to work both sides of the neck at the same time. K1, SSK, K to end.
