    PDF Pattern*

    By Stephen West

    This modular garment begins with striped short row wedges followed by a garter stitch rectangle. Stitches are picked up to knit the back square. Two rectangles form the the sides and tapered short sleeves are worked in the round with an I-cord bind off. Two large short row borders finish the top and bottom of the garment. Flip the garment upside down, fold the collar, and button the front for a variety of looks.
