I’m a size EU52/UK24/US20

Total neck sts: 70
Back sts: 23 (+2) (+4 for wide CO)
Sleeve sts: 6 (+2) (+4 for wide CO)
Increase sts: 8 (fixed number)
Front sts: 26

Cuff sts: 30

Adding 8 sts to underarms using crochet CO.

Gauge:
20 sts = 11.5cm
10cm = 17.5sts

Bust dart
7” difference between above bust and around bust.
4.375 * 7” = 30 sts rounded down.
Add 15sts width to each side.

After putting sleeve sts on holder, knit 1”/3cm down.

Placed st m in middle of added underarm sts. When ready to knit bust dart:

• sm, k1, m1r, pm, k to 1 st before m, pm, m1l, k1, sm.
• sm, k3, m1r, sm, k to 3sts before sm, sm, m1l, k3, sm.

Repeat and move st m around.

Worked until I hit k29 in the increases, then decreased in the same fashion.

sm, k until 3 sts before marker, ssk, k1, remove marker, slip knitted stitch onto left needle, pm, slip stitch back to right needle, k until marker, remove marker, k1, pm, k2tog, k until marker, sm.

Waist shaping:
After bust darts are completed, knit about 2.5cm/1”, then start decreasing with 2 sts on each side marker every 5 rows, 3 times

k to 3 sts before m, ssk, k1, sm, k1, k2tog

Knit about 5cm even, then add about 20cm width for the hips (34sts) by increasing 2 stitches per side marker every 5 rows, 10 times.

k to 1 st before m, m1r, k1, sm, k1, m1, repeat for other side

When done increasing, knit to 2”/5cm before desired length. Change to 4mm needles and switch to the off white yarn to finish the 4x4 rib for 5cm.

Sleeves:
Start at the center of armpit, pick up 4 sts, pick up sts from waste yarn, then pick up remaining 4 sts, join in the round. (I worked both sleeves two-at-a-time to ensure evenness.)

k 16 rounds

Start decreasing: k1, k2tog, k to last 3 sts, ssk, k1

Decrease every 6 rnds for a total of 7 decreases. After 7th decrease round, k 6 more rounds.

Switch to off white yarn. k 1 round plain, then k 15 rows in 4x4 rib, then bind off.
