Materials :
* chunky yarn (I used 3 skeins Lion Brand Homespun) * size 10-1/2 needles
Gauge: 10 sts = 4"
Finished bust size = 46"
* M1: pick up the running thread between the stitch just worked and the next one. Place this loop on the left hand needle and knit.
* Kfb: Knit into the front and back of the next stitch.
* s1: slip one stitch
Cast on 68 sts for neck edge
Note You will always keep first and last 6 stitches in "knit" even on a "P" row. I did not write in the button holes so you can add them in with whatever spacing you desire.
