9. When the sleeve measures 12 inches from D to F, change to a double stitch on the next winding. Knit 2½ inches double stitch for the cuff.
The collar and the bands for down the front are made in one piece.
1. To find the exact length required, measure from the bottom edge of the front of the sweater to point E at the neck. (See Fig. 40.) This gives the length A-B of the band shown in Fig. 43. Measure from E around the neck of the sweater to the center of the back. This gives the length C-D, Fig. 43, of one-half of the collar.
2. Cast stitches on twelve nails, six in each row. Knit 2½ inches of band A-B with double stitch, and the rest of the length single stitch. Remember to provide for the buttonholes. (See directions given in section 8, Chapter 4.)
3. When the band is the required length, with the next winding add 24 nails to the right of the knitting, twelve nails in each row, making 36 nails in all. Knit the collar until a piece of the required length has been made.
4. Cast stitches from the 24 nails added above for the collar.
5. Knit the second band, using double stitch for the last 2½ inches.
7. Take up the loose stitches at the beginning of the first band, as described in section 6 of Chapter 4. Crochet around the outer edge of the collar with a single crochet stitch.
1. Knit a length as long as desired, using twelve nails and a single stitch. Make two buttonholes, 3 inches apart, near the end that will wrap over. This end may be pointed by casting off one stitch on each row of knitting for the last eight or ten rows.
_The parts of the sweater are now ready to be sewed together as described in section 7 of Chapter 4._
_Fig. 45 shows the pattern for a collar when the sweater is made slipover style, closed down the front._
1. Cast stitches on four nails, two in each row. Keep one side, A-C, of knitting straight. On the other side add two nails at a time until the collar is wide enough. About twenty nails in each row makes a good collar. Use single stitch.
2. Continue knitting on these 40 nails until the straight edge of the collar is long enough to go from the point of the V in the front, around to the upper end of the V on the other side.
3. Cast stitches off two nails at a time, to slope the collar to correspond to the other end, until only four nails remain.
