Retro Style Slim Fit Top

A flattering retro style slim fit design in wide rib for the main part and shaping at the side edges. The deep welt and sleeve cuffs are in a straightforward 6 row cable pattern. The main part of the sleeves is stocking stitch with the tops having decreasings to give a vintage puffed sleeve. The design is finished with a perfect little collar grown out of the neckband (nothing to sew on). If you prefer the design without the collar, then once you have picked up the stitches, simply repeat rows 1-2 as given twice and cast off - easy!
