Once you have cast on the amount of stitches according to your size choice, start by knitting 2 rows in garter stitch.
Now, it is time to start the increases for body and sleeves so place your markers as I explain in the video and as listed above.
On the third row it is also time to create a buttonhole which we shall repeat every 16 rows.
Repeat this sequence given in the video to create the eyelets in the increases (LINK TO THE VIDEO HERE).
Once you have achieved the desired width of armholes (or the recommended width I have listed above), it is time to separate our work in five different parts and then knit all those individually. This part is explained a lot more in detail on my YouTube video (LINK HERE).
Give it a go! Any questions or inquiries I shall me resolving and helping you out over on my YouTube comments or Instagram DM's!! I'd love to see your finished product.
Once you have mastered the basics on this, you will be able to adapt it into all different designs (cardi, romper, jumper...).
