Gauge: 20 stitches and 26 rows = 4 inches in stockinette stitch Sizes: Note: Pattern is written for smallest size with changes for larger sizes in parenthesis. When only one number is given, it applies to all sizes. To keep track of your size, you may highlight or circle all numbers for your chosen size before you begin. Finished Measurements: XS, (S, M, L, XL, 2X, 3X) Finished Chest Circumference: 30, (34, 38, 41, 46, 50, 54) Finished Length from top of shoulder to bottom edge: 20.5, (21, 21, 21.5, 22, 23, 23.25) Finished Sleeve Length from cuff to underarm: 17.5, (17.5, 17.5, 18.5, 18.5, 18.5, 18.5) Notes: This pattern will be worked flat.

You will then shape the neckline and join back together to decrease and work the right sleeve. To make seaming easier at the end, you may slip the first stitch of each row to create a selvedge edge.
