You will need to make 4 swatches of stockinette stitch from worsted-weight yarn, 4"x4"/10x10cm each. You will also need to make a mock sweater front and back with a sleeve cap as follows: SWEATER “FRONT”: Using a light-colored worsted-weight yarn and US 7/4.5mm or US 8/5mm needles, CO 21 sts. Work 10 rows even in stockinette stitch. Mock armhole BO: on the next RS, BO 4 sts. knit to end, turn purl back. Next row (RS): **knit 1 or 2 sts, k2tog, knit to end, turn, purl back. Rep from ** 4 times more, then knit even for 8”/20cm. Put rem 12 sts on a stitch holder and set aside. Do not BO. Leave several yards of yarn for finishing this piece, and then cut the yarn.
