Continue to work in established cable pattern and inserting the appropriate row from Chart B. When you reach the end of the boat graph, work center 38 sts as P st on the RS and K st on the WS for sizes 2T and 3T. For size 4T, work as follows:

Work 4 rows following cable, keeping center 38 sts as P st on the RS and K st on the WS.

For the next few rows, continue to follow cable pattern, and work center 38 sts as follows:

AT THE SAME TIME, continue to work in cable and chart patterns until piece measures 8.5” (9”, 9.5”) from the bottom edge.

Armhole Shaping:
At the beginning of the next RS row, BO 3 sts. Continue to follow cable and graph patterns to the end of the row.

At the beginning of the next WS row, BO 3 sts and continue to work in patterns to the end of the row.

Continue in established patterns until piece measures 12” (13”, 14”) from bottom edge.

Neck Shaping:
On next RS row, work 33 (36, 39) sts, keeping to pattern, BO the next 6 sts. Work last 33 (36, 39) sts, in pattern, as established.

Continue to work in pattern on WS, but work sts 2X at neck edge. Attach a 2nd ball of yarn at opposite neck edge, work 2 sts tog 2X, then continue row.

Continue in this manner, working 2 sts tog 2X at each side of neck edge on each row until you have 22 (24, 28) sts on each side, and front measures 14” (15”, 16”) from bottom edge.

Finishing:
Wash pieces and block lightly. Seam shoulders and side seams using tapestry needle.
