to match, knit them first, and be sure to
start both balls of yarn at the same color.
Be sure to twist yarns when switching balls
for intarsia rectangles.

Continue to work in St st for 8 more rounds.
On following round, dec 1 st each
side of seam markers as follows: k to 5sts before

marker in this way, k 11 sts, join second ball of
yarn [CC] and knit next 20[22, 24, 26] sts with
CC. CO 1 st using backward loop method and turn
work. P 21 [23, 25, 27] sts with CC to establish
intarsia rectangle. Switch back to MC and p across
all stitches.
Work in pattern as established,
working decrease row every 4 rows 4[4, 3, 3] times
and every 6 rows 0[0, 2, 2] times.

is 10[10, 11, 11] inches from beginning, on
next RS row, break intarsia rectangle as follows:
K to last 21[23, 25, 27] sts.
Continue with MC, k 20[22, 24, 26], k2tog to join.
Working in the round, knit 6 rounds entirely
with MC.
On next round, k to 20[22, 24, 26] sts previously
established as intarsia block.
Pick up CC and knit 20[22, 24, 26] sts with CC,
using the backward loop method to CO one stitch.
Turn and work side to side as established.
Work even until length is
14[14, 15, 15] inches from beginning, ending
with a WS row.
Yoke
Join body to sleeves as follows:
On body, with RS facing, knit to 4[4, 5, 5] stitches
before side marker. Place marker. Place next 8[8,
10, 10] sts on holder for underarm. Pick up sleeve
and place 4[4, 5, 5] sts each side of center marker
on holder for underarm. K 52[56, 61, 66] sts from
sleeve. Place marker. Repeat for other side, working
intarsia rectangle as established.
261[289, 311, 341] live sts, 4
seam markers.
On next RS row, begin raglan
decreases as follows: k 2 sts before seam
marker, k2tog, sm, SKP. At same time, join
a third ball of yarn 3 sts before center of
back. K3 sts, remove marker, K3 more sts.
As the pattern continues, work this intarsia
rectangle as for the front, breaking both
rectangles as before, after 15[15, 16, 16]
inches from beginning. Float the yarn behind
this rectangle and continue in the round;
do not turn as with the front intarsia block.
Work raglan decreases on every
RS row as established a total of 20[22, 22, 24]
times.
101 [113, 135, 149] sts remain.
On next row [WS], work raglan
decreases as follows: p until 2 sts before seam
marker, p2tog tbl, sm, p2tog. 93[105, 127, 141]
sts remain.
Work decrease row every row on
next 0[0, 2, 2] rows.
93[105, 111, 125] sts remain.
On next two rows, BO 10[12, 12,
14] sts at the beginning of the row while continuing
to work raglan decreases every row as established.

Drop yarn for both intarsia rectangles and
work with MC only.
On next RS row, dec 1st
each side of neck edge while working raglan
decrease rows as established.

On next 2[3, 3, 4] rows, work
raglan decrease rows as established.
31[31, 37, 39] sts.
