• increase stitches: 8
• front stitches: 32
• right front stitches: 8
• left front stitches: 8

2. 2 rnds with CC (beige)
3. 4 rnds with MC
4. 2 rnds with CC
5. 2 rnds with MC
6. 4 rnds with CC; repeat steps 1 through 6.

Decrease under both arms 2 sts on every 4^th row 6 times (= 154 sts in body). Sleeve decreases: decrease 1 st at each end of every 4^th row 20 times (= 32 sts in wrist). Collar band height was 1.5" and button band 1".
