FRONT
With No. 11 needles, cast on 102 sts., and work 4f inches in k. 1, p. 2 rib (i.e., rows on wrong side read:—k. 2, p. 1 rib). Change to No. 9 needles and continue in rib, increasing at each end of next and every following 4th row until there are 136 sts. Work straight until side edge measures 11 f inches. Shape armholes by casting off 6 sts. at beginning of next 2 rows, 4 sts. at beginning of next 2 rows, then 1 st. at each end of next 2 rows (112 sts.). Now change to lattice pattern for yoke and work thus:-1sT ROW: Right side facing, k. 3, * wool forward, slip 1, k. 2, pass slipped stitch over the 2 knit sts.; repeat from * to last st., k. 1. 2ND AND
ALTERNATE ROWS: Purl. 3RD ROW: k. 2, * wl.
fwd., sl. 1, k. 2, p.s.s.o. the 2 knit sts.; repeat from * to last 2 sts., k. 2. 5TH ROW: k. 1, * wl. fwd., sl. 1, k. 2, p.s.s.o. the 2 knit sts.; repeat from * to end.
Continue in this pattern until work measures 17 ins., then shape for neck, thus:—Pattern 42, cast off 28, pattern 42. Working on last 42 sts., decrease at neck edge on every row until 36 sts. remain. Work a few rows straight until length measures 18 ins. Shape shoulder by casting off 12 sts. armhole edge on next three alternate rows.
Return to remaining 42 sts. and work other shoulder to correspond, reversing shapings.
BACK
Work exactly as for Front until 16 ins. have been done. Now work back opening as follows:–With right side facing, pattern 52, turn, cast on 8 sts., leaving remainder on a spare needle. Continue in pattern, keeping the 8 sts. in garter-stitch until work measures 18 ins. Shape shoulder by casting off 12 sts. on next three alternate rows, armhole edge; cast off remaining 8 garter-stitches.
Join wool to the remaining 60 sts. at the centre, k. 8, then work in pattern to end. Continue in pattern, keeping 8 centre sts. in garter-st. as before for 8 rows. On next row make a buttonhole thus:—k. 3, wl. fwd., k. 2 tog., k. 3.
Now continue straight, finishing left shoulder to correspond with the right.
SLEEVES
With No. 11 needles, cast on 81 sts. and work If ins. in k. 1, p. 2 rib. Change to No. 9 needles and continue in rib, increasing at each end of next and every following 4th row until there are 99 sts. Work should now measure 6 ins., but if not, work a few rows straight.
Shape top by decreasing 1 st. at the beginning of every row until 50 sts. remain. Cast off.

and work 4 rows in k. 1, p. 1 rib. Now increase 1 st. in each knit st. on next row. Work 3 rows in p. 2, k. 1 rib. NEXT ROW: * p. 1, increase in next st., k. 1; repeat from * to end. Work 3 rows p. 4, k. 1 rib. NEXT ROW: * increase in 1st st., k. 2, increase in in next st., p. 1; repeat from * to end. Work 3 rows in p. 6, k. 1 rib. Cast off.
Now make 2 more frills in exactly the same way to go up side of yoke at front, over shoulder and down side of yoke at back, casting on 77 sts. instead of 79.
TO MAKE UP
Join side, shoulder and sleeve seams. Insert sleeves, gathering any extra fullness at top of sleeve. Sew on neck band right up to garter-stitch edges on back opening, letting the outer edge curl under all round to form a roll with purl side for right side. Sew on frills all round yoke, joining frills at each corner. Sew on button to match buttonhole and a press-fastener at top of back opening.
