RIGHT SHOULDER NECK SHAPING
For the Right Front, Shaping row 1 is worked on the WS, and Shaping row 2 the RS.
Shaping row 1 Ch1, dc in each st across to 1 st before marker, dc2tog using st before marker and marked st, turn.
[29 (31: 33: 35: 37: 39: 41) sts]

The patt of 3 sts at the neckline edge (2FPtr and 1dc at neckline edge) will be maintained to the shoulder with the rest of the row worked in patt as set.
Work in patt without shaping until piece measures approx 48 (49.5: 49.5: 51: 52: 53: 54.5) cm from beg, ending with a RS row. Fasten off.
LEFT SHOULDER NECK SHAPING
Rejoin yarn with WS facing in marked st on Left Front. See Right Shoulder Neck Shaping above. For the Left Front, Shaping row 2 is worked on the WS and Shaping row 1 on the RS. Work Shaping row 2, followed by Shaping row 1, then work 3 more Shaping rows in the same fashion with 1 decrease at neckline edge on each row. Shaping row 6 Ch1, work in patt to last 2 FPtr, FPtr around each of next 2 FPtr, dc in last st, turn. The patt of these 3 sts will be maintained to the shoulder to match Right Front.
Work in patt without shaping to match Right Front.
Fasten off, remove markers.
BACK
Work as for Front in patt without Neckline Shaping until piece measures approx 46 (47: 47: 48: 49.5: 51: 52)cm ending with a RS row. Place stitch markers as for Front, then work 6 Shaping rows on both sides as for Front, with decreases at neckline edge and (2FPtr, dc) at neckline edge from Shaping row 6 to shoulder. Work in patt without shaping until there are the same number of total rows as Front. Fasten off leaving a 25cm tail for sewing.
TO MAKE UP
With RS together, ss Front and Back shoulder seams together.
Fasten off.
Measure 30.5cm up from bottom corners, place stitch marker through both Front and Back Body pieces, ss between marker and bottom corners for side seams. After joining second seam, do not fasten off. Turn RS out, dc in each st and seam around bottom, join with ss to beg dc, add a second strand of yarn and holding both together, reverse dc in each st around bottom, join with ss to beg reverse dc.
Fasten off.
NECK EDGING
Join yarn with ss, RS facing at shoulder seam. Row 1 (RS) Work 20dc down Front side neck, (dc2tog) 5 times over shaping, dc in central 15
sts, (dc2tog) 5 times over shaping, work 20dc up Front side neck ending in seam, work 5dc down Back side neck, (dc2tog) 5 times over shaping, dc in central 15 sts, (dc2tog) 5 times over shaping, work 5dc up Back side neck to shoulder seam, join with ss to beg dc.
Row 2 (RS) Ch1, reverse dc in each st around, join with ss to beg st.
Fasten off.

TO JOIN SLEEVES
With RS of Body and Sleeve together, pin centre
FPtr of Sleeve to shoulder seam and corners of Sleeve to Body side seam. Starting at underarm, ss up and around armhole to opposite side, then ss Sleeve edges together for Sleeve seam. Turning RS out, pull working yarn through Sleeve, dc in each st around cuff, do not turn. Add a second strand of yarn and holding both strands together, reverse dc in each st around, join with ss to beg reverse dc.
Fasten off.
TO FINISH
Weave in all ends. Jumper may need light blocking to uncurl bottom and cuff edges. Lay flat, spritz with water, pat down, let dry.
