Repeat the pattern of knitting two stitches together, yarn over, and knit one on the right side, and purl all stitches on the wrong side until the piece measures approximately 14 inches from the cast-on edge.

Step 4: Shape the armholes

Bind off 8 stitches at the beginning of the next two rows, then decrease one stitch at each armhole edge on the following two rows.

When the piece measures approximately 22 inches from the cast-on edge, bind off the center 14 stitches and then decrease one stitch at each neckline edge on the following two rows.

Bind off all stitches when the piece measures approximately 26 inches from the cast-on edge.

Join the side seams, leaving a gap for the armhole. Weave in any loose ends with a tapestry needle.
