Pattern
Edge/Selvedge

Knit 0.8 inches (2 cm) in rib: knit 1, purl 1.
Body
Change to 3.5 mm needle.
Knit 2 inches (5 cm) of stockinette stitches.
Start decreasing for waist
Place a marker in each side = side seams = 108 (116, 124, 132)sts.
*Knit to 8 sts before the marker, knit 2 together knitwise, knit 2 sts, knit 2 together through
the back loops*, repeat one more time = 4 decreases.
Decrease every 8th rnd for a total of 3 times = 102 (110, 118, 128) sts.
Knit straight up until your work measures 6.7 inches (17 cm).
Start increasing:
*Knit to 6 sts before the marker, increase with 1 stitch, knit 12sts, increase 1 stitch*, repeat 1
more time = 4 increases.
Increase every 12th rnd for a total of 3 times = 108 (116, 124, 132) sts.
Knit straight up until your work measures 12.2 inches (31 cm). End at beginning of
round/side seam.
Divide into rib edges in armhole and neckline
Knit to 6 sts before the side seam,
*purl 1, knit 1*, repeat for a total of 3 times,
*knit 1, purl 1*, repeat for a total of 3 times,
knit the 96 (104, 112, 120) sts of the back,

NOTE: Then you knit edge sts/the selvedge in the armholes and the neckline, like this:
Slip the first stitch knitwise, and purl the last stitch on each row.
The back
Knit the 108 (116, 124, 132) sts of the back.
1. row, wrong side: slip 1 knitwise, 5 rib sts, purl 2 together, purl until you have 8 sts left,
purl 2 together through the back loops, 5 rib sts, purl 1 = 2 decreases.
2. row, right side: slip 1 knitwise, 5 rib sts, knit 2 together through the back loops, knit until
you have 8 sts left, knit 2 together knitwise, 5 rib sts, purl 1 = 2 decreases.
Repeat these 2 rows until you have 72 (76, 80, 84) sts.
Hereafter, you knit rib sts over each stitch, as you evenly decrease 5 (7, 7, 9) sts over the
stockinette knitted piece = 67 (69, 73, 75) sts.
Knit 0.8 inches (2 cm) of rib. Bind off in rib.
Left front piece
Place a marker in the middle of the front piece, between the 2 knit stitches.
1. row, right side: slip 1 knitwise, 5 rib sts, knit 2 together through the back loops, knit until

Start decreasing for the strap
Row 1, right side: slip 1 knitwise, rib 5, knit 2 together through back loop, knit 2, knit 2
together, rib 5, purl 1 = 2 stitches decreased.
Row 2, wrong side: slip 1 knitwise, rib 5, purl 2 together, purl 2 together through back loop,
rib 5, purl 1 = 2 stitches decreased = 14 stitches total.
Row 3: Knit 2 middle stitches together through back loop*) = 13 stitches ribbing
Row 4: slip 1 knitwise, rib 11, purl 1.
Row 5: slip 1 knitwise, rib 4, slip 2 stitches knitwise at the same time, purl 1, pass slipped
stitches over, rib 4, purl 1 = 11 stitches.
Strap

Place the sts on a stitch holder.
Right front piece and strap
This is knit as the mirror image of the left front piece and strap, since the 2 knit stitches on
