(Calculate how many stitches you would want on needles by taking a chest measurement…When using more than one yarn, compare gauge vs. stitches needed. The underarm measurement at ~6-7 inches for me….?)

(divide stitches ~8 inches
sleeves: increase to ~60 stitches, size 8 needle)

cast on ~6 stitches under each arm (Valley Yarns Northampton)

~160 stitches

Mod shale stitch; add garter border as desired.
Row 1: K2, P2 (repeat)
5 rows: K4, P2
Repeat.
When knitting flat, knit and purl to maintain a consistent pattern.
(Looks like “seagull sky” ribbing?)
