Notes: Reduplicate is an oversized top worked in one piece from the top down, beginning with the shoulders. The sleeve cap is picked up from the edge of the shoulders and the different parts of the yoke and sleeve caps are shaped at the same time. When the yoke is complete, the body is worked straight to the hem. A small number of increases shape the sleeves. An i-cord cast-off is used for the neck and a simple purlwise chain cast-off for the sleeves and hem.
Take time to familiarise yourself with the Chart pattern before beginning, as you will need to incorporate increased sts into the pattern during yoke shaping. When working in Chart patt, work as many 10-st half reps of chart as possible, work the 2-st purl column if possible, then work any rem sts in St st.
