DIRECTIONS
SKPO = slip, knit, pass slipped stitch over
Note: While the directions call for knitting in the round up to the sleeves, you can work it in two pieces if desired. Increase the number of cast-on stitches by 4, and divide by two to give you the appropriate number to cast on for the front and back. Make increases and decreases at the ends of rows instead of near the markers.
