The garment is now worked flat, back and forth on the needles.
Row 12 (WS): K3, purl to last 3 sts, k3.

Row 13 (RS): K to m, sm, *kfb, k to 1 st bm, kfb, sm, repeat *-*another 2 times, k to end. (6 sts increased)

Body

RS row:  Knit all sts.

Continue repeating these two rows until work measures 1/1/1/1.5 (1.5/2/2/3) inches or 2.5/2.5/2.5/4 (4/5/5/7.5) cm from the armhole, or 1 inch / 2.5 cm before desired length – end with a RS row, evenly decreasing 2/2/2/2 (0/0/2/2) sts.  Switch to smaller needles.

Edging

RS row: (K2, p2) until last 2 sts, k2.

Repeat the last two rows until the ribbing measures 1 inch / 2.5 cm. Loosely BO in pattern on the next RS row.

Sleeves

Place one set of sleeve sts back on the needles. At the gap under the arm, pick up 3 sts, knit across the sleeve sts, place marker for beginning of round.

Work in stockinette, knitting every row, until sleeve measures 2/2/2/3/3 (3/3/4/4) inches or 5/5/5/7.5 (7.5/7.5/10/10) cm, or until approximately 1 inch/2.5 cm before desired length. On the last round, decrease to a stitch count divisible by 4, and switch to smaller needles.
