(Row 2)
Ch 3 turn (ch 3 always counts as first dc) dc in each of next 2 dc, *2dc in next st, dc in
each of next 2 sts, repeat from * 18 times, dc in top of turning ch. 80 sts in all.

Work three more rows of dc, making 19 inc evenly spaced in next row and 20 inc in each
of next 2 rows, be sure not to work an inc over inc of previous row. Counting turning ch
as 1, there will be 139 dc in row 5.

(Row 6)
On right side, ch 3, turn, *sk 2dc, shell in sp between next dc, ( to make a shell; 2 dc, ch1,
2 dc in sp), sk 2 dc, a raised dc (to make a raised dc: thread over, insert hook from front
to back in space before next dc, bring hook around to front on next side of dc, thread over
and work off lps on hook for a dc) Repeat from * 26 times, sk 2 dc, shell in space before
next dc, dc in top of turning ch. There are 28 shells.

(Row 7)
Ch 3, turn, shell in ch lp of first shell, working from back to front in this row * make a
raised dc around post of next raised dc, shell in ch lp of next shell * repeat from * to *
twice, a raised dc around post of next raised dc, sk 6 shells for right sleeve, repeat from *
to * 4 times, a raised dc around next raised dc, sk 6 shells for left sleeve, repeat from * to
* 4 times, dc in top of turning ch.

(Row 8)
Ch 3 turn, shell in next shell, working from front to back in this row, (make a raised dc
around post of next raised dc, shell in next shell 3 times, a raised dc around post of 2 dc at
other underarm. End with a dc in top of turning ch. There are 16 shells.

(Row 9)
Ch 3 turn, shell in next shell, working from back to front in this row, *make a raised dc
around post of next raised dc, shell in next shell, repeat from * across, end with dc in
turning ch.

(Row 10)
Ch 3 turn, shell in next shell, working from front to back in this row, * make a raised dc
around post of next raised dc, shell in next shell, repeat from * across end with dc in
turning ch.
(Rows 11 thru 15)
Alternate rows 9 & 10, inc shells to (2dc, ch1, 3dc) in next shell.

(Rows 16, 17, and 18)

Continue alternating rows 9& 10, inc shells to (3dc, ch1, 3dc) in next shell.

(Row 19)
Ch 3, turn, raised dc as before, making shell of 7 dc in this row. Fasten off.

SLEEVE:
On right side, join yarn at underarm between 2 raised dc, ch 3, a shell of (2 dc, ch1, 2 dc)

Pattern :
(Row 1)
On right side, ch 3, working from front to back make a raised dc around post of next dc, *

from * 6 times, end with dc in next dc after raised dc.

(Row2)
Ch 3, turn, working from back to front * make a raised dc around post of next raised dc,
shell in shell, repeat from* across, end with a raised dc around post of last raised dc, dc in
top of turning ch.

Repeat rows 1 & 2 of pattern until there are 10 rows. Fasten off.
NECKBAND:
