Cass's Sweater Quasi-Pattern

I hesitate to call this a pattern, because I am terrible at these things. And it hasn't been tested or anything so it may be rife with errors. But this is the very general gist of what I did:

It's a very basic top-down raglan with only a tiny bit of shaping at the upper arm. The actual sweater has a 35" bust. In the photo above, it is modeled on my 34" bust. You could easily adjust this by doing fewer or more increases (although you will probably also have to adjust the ribbing to accommodate a different stitch count).

Gauge = 4.25 st/in with worsted yarn on size 8 needles

Cast on 104, join in the round and knit 4 rounds.

Round 5: K 35, pm, K 17, pm, K 35, pm, K 17, pm (use a different color, as this one will mark the beginning of the round)

Round 6: *K to one stitch before marker, YO, K 1, Yo, slip marker. Repeat from * 3 more times

Round 7: Knit

Repeat rounds 6 and 7 20 more times

Separate the arms and body: Knit to first marker and remove it. Place stitches between the first and second markers on waste yarn, remove 2nd marker, and knit to third marker. Remove the third marker and place stitches between it and 4th marker on waste yarn. Keep the 4th marker to indicate beginning of round.

Knit every round for about 3 inches, or until it is at the bottom of the wearer's bust.

Begin ribbing: K5, P1 around for about 9"

Note: if you did a different number of increases, you might not have a multiple of 6- count your stitches. Use a little math to see what your count divides into nicely, and adjust ribbing accordingly (i.e. divisible by 5 = K4, P1 ribbing).

When the ribbing is to your (or the wearer's) liking, knit every round for about 3 1/2" (or again, for whatever works for you).

Bind off.

Sleeves: Transfer stitches held for one sleeve to needle, pm and join in the round.

Round 1: SSK, knit to 2 st before marker, K2tog
Rounds 2-9: Knit
Round 10: SSK, knit to 2 st before marker, K2tog

Repeat Rounds 2-10 once more

Begin ribbing: K4, P1 around for 9 1/4"

Note: the note above applies here too!

Knit every round for 6" (or desired length)

Bind off.

Repeat for second sleeve.

Finishing:

Single crochet around the neckline (I used a size H hook)

Weave in ends, close up any holes around the armpit.
