All the pieces are knitted back and forth. I use standard Knitty abbreviations. In the pattern, there is an
abbreviation SS, which means selvage stitch in the beginning and at the end of each row. You can knit this in
the way you like. I usually slip this stitch purlwise in the beginning of each row, and knit it at the end of
each row.
Sleeves
Cast on 50 sts. Knit 5 rows in garter st, then begin ribbing:
R1 (WS): SS, k1, [k2, p2], repeat [-], k2, p1, SS.
R2 (RS): SS, k1, [p2, k2], repeat [-], p2, k1, SS.
Repeat rows 1 and 2 seven (7) times total. Then repeat R1 and at the middle of that row, M1 st = 51 sts. Continue
in garter stitch ridges pattern. Knit 1 (1, 0) pattern repeats without increases. Begin increases:
R1: SS, M1, knit in stitch pattern as set until SS remains, M1, SS.
R2-R8: knit in stitch pattern as set.
Repeat these increases 14 (16, 18) times total = 79 (83, 87) sts.
When sleeve measures 19" (49 cm), bind off 2 x 5 sts and 8 x 1 st on every row, and 6 x 1 st on every 4th row
and 4 x 1 st on every row. Then bind off in the beginning of each row 4 x 3 sts and 2 x 4 sts. BO all sts.

At the same time knit the short rows for the shoulders: knit in set stitch pattern until you have 8 (9, 9) sts remaining
