Hereafter work over these last 28 sts, keeping the 5 sts at both edges in moss st (on one row k 1, p 1 alternately; on next row, p over k, k over p), and decreasing 1 st at armhole edge (inside of border) every other row until 26 sts remain. Then dec. 1 st (inside of border) at neck edge, on the 2nd row and every 6th row thereafter until 20 sts remain. Work straight until piece measures 8 inches from 1st row of armhole shaping. To shape shoulder, starting at armhole edge, bind off 5 sts every other row 3 times. Work over remaining 5 sts in moss st for 2½ inches. Bind off. Attach yarn to neck edge; dec. 1 st and work opposite side to correspond.

Back. Work exactly as for Front to shoulder shaping, omitting neck opening. To shape shoulders, bind off 5 sts at beginning of each of next 6 rows. Bind off remaining sts.

Sew up underarm and shoulder seams. Sew strips across neck edge of Back.
