Knit rib like this:

Round 1: * K2, P1 * - repeat for entire round

Round 2: K entire round

Repeat Round 1 and 2 19 times more = 40 round rib. Round 2 is the last round.

On the next round you increase 3 s and place SM to mark off for the saddle shoulders.

Instructions:  K14, PSM, K7, PSM, K1, M1, K12, M1, K12, M1, K1, PSM, K7, PSM, K15.

You have now marked off 29 s for the back and front and 7 s for each shoulder= 72m

Now, knit stocking stitch front and back, while the shoulders continue in the rib pattern. Knit 1 round (K front and back and rib over the shoulders).

Saddle shoulder increase:

You continue in the pattern, over shoulders and stocking stitch over front and back while you increase BEFORE 1st and 3rd marker and AFTER 2nd and 4th marker.

Instructions:

BEFORE THE MARK:

Make new stitch right-leaning.

Use the left knitting needle to pick up the yarn between 2 stitches from the round below, pick up yarn from the back and knit the stitch in front loop.

AFTER THE MARK:

Make new stitch left-leaning.

Use left needle to pick up the yarn between 2 stitches from the round below, pick up yarn from the front and knit the stitch in back loop.

So you only increase on the front and back, the number of shoulder seams remains the same. Continue with the increases in the pattern. Increase as described on each round a total of 15 times. = 132 stitches.

You now have 59 s for the front and back and 7 s for each shoulder.

Knit a round where you cast off the shoulder stitches.

You now knit the front piece and the back piece separately.

Knit both parts the same way, like this:

(you can use an extra cable and leave the remaining stitches to ‘rest’ on it while you knit the first part):

Knitting needle 1 (RS): With yarn in front, slip first s purl-wise, Knit the rest. Turn.

Knitting needle 2 (WS): With yarn in front, slip first s purl-wise, Purl until you have 1 s left, finish with K1. Turn

Repeat N1 and N2 until you have knitted 28cm of stocking stitch (possibly longer/shorter if desired), finish with needle 2.

On the next n (from the right side) you cast off 2 s, like this:

With yarn in front, slip first s purl-wise, K14, K2tog, K28, K2tog, K13. Turn

Knit back as «Knitting needle 2»
