Lower Body
Using smaller circular needle, CO 126[140, 154, 168, 182, 196, 210] sts. Place marker and join to begin working in the round, being careful not to twist.

Work in Lace Rib pattern until work measures 1 inch.

Change to larger circular needle and continue in Lace Rib until work measures 9[10, 10, 11, 12, 12, 13] inches.

Next Round: Remove marker, k2, p2, replace marker - this point is now beginning of round; work next 63[70, 77, 84, 91, 98, 105] sts in 3x4 Rib, place second marker to indicate side "seam"; work to end in 3x4 Rib.

Continue in 3x4 Rib until work measures 13[14, 15, 16, 17, 17, 18] inches, or desired length to underarm.

Next Round: Work in patt to side seam marker, work next 6[6, 7, 7, 7, 8, 8] sts, place last 12[12, 14, 14, 14, 16, 16] sts worked on hold on waste yarn or st holder, removing marker; continue in patt to last 6[6, 7, 7, 7, 8, 8] sts, place last 6[6, 7, 7, 7, 8, 8] sts of this round and first 6[6, 7, 7, 7, 8, 8] sts of next round on hold on waste yarn or st holder, removing marker.

Do not break yarn. Set work aside and knit Sleeves.

Sleeves
Using smaller double-point needles and a new ball of yarn, CO 35[35, 42, 42, 42, 49, 49] sts. Divide between needles so that each needle has a multiple of 7 sts (for ease of working st pattern). Join to begin working in the round, being careful not to twist. If desired, use a split ring marker or safety pin to mark end of round.

Work in Lace Rib pattern until work measures 1 inch.

Change to larger circular needle and continue in Lace Rib until work measures 4 inches.

Note: Read ahead to end of Sleeve before proceeding; shaping instructions and stitch pattern instructions are worked at the same time!

Increase Round: K1, m1, work in patt as set to last st, m1, k1.
Work 6 rounds in patt as set.
Repeat these 7 rounds 6[9, 9, 9, 9, 9, 9] times more, working new sts in 3x4 Rib pattern. 49[55, 62, 62, 62, 69, 69] sts.

Sizes S, M, L, XL, 2X, and 3X Only:
Increase 1 st at beginning of next round. -[56, 63, 63, 63, 70, 70] sts.

All Sizes:
AT THE SAME TIME: When work measures 13[13, 12.5, 12.5, 13, 13, 14] inches, discontinue Lace Rib and begin working in 3x4 Rib.

When increases are complete, place st marker after 4th[1st, 1st, 1st, 1st, 1st, 1st, 1st] st to mark new beginning of round; this should fall directly in the center of a [p4] rib.

Continue in 3x4 Rib until work measures 18[18, 18.5, 18.5, 19, 19, 20] inches, or desired length to underarm. Note: If you want your sleeves to be shorter or longer, make the adjustment in length when working the Lace Rib section. As written, the 3x4 Rib section of the Sleeves will be 1 inch longer than the 3x4 Rib section of the Body, which will allow these sections to line up attractively when worn.

Next Round: Work to last 6[6, 7, 7, 7, 8, 8] sts of round, place next 12[12, 14, 14, 14, 16, 16] sts on hold on waste yarn or st holder, removing marker. Break yarn, leaving a 1-yard tail.

Place remaining 37[44, 49, 49, 49, 54, 54] sts of first Sleeve on hold on smaller circular needle, and make a second sleeve to match. After placing underarm sts on hold, do not remove remaining sts of second sleeve from needles.

Join Body and Sleeves
Pick up needle holding Body and work as follows, continuing with ball of yarn attached to Body and working all sts onto larger circular needle:

Place marker, K37[44, 49, 49, 49, 54, 54] sts of one Sleeve, place marker, k51[58, 63, 70, 77, 82, 89] sts of Front, place marker, k37[44, 49, 49, 49, 54, 54] sts of second Sleeve, place marker, k51[58, 63, 70, 77, 82, 89] sts of Back. You should be back at the first marker. 176[204, 224, 238, 252, 272, 286] sts on needle. The held underarm sts of the Sleeves and Body rest opposite each other.

Yoke
Work 7 rounds in 3x4 Rib as set.

Next Round: [P1, k1, work in patt as set to 2 sts before next marker, k1, p1] 4 times.
Repeat these 2 rounds 9[11, 13, 15, 16, 18, 19] times more. 96[108, 112, 110, 116, 120, 126] sts remain.
