Repeat above 2 rows until piece measures 9 in. from lower edge, then start graduating the ribbed front as follows (right side): K 16, * P 2, K 4; repeat from * across row ending P 2, K 16. Work in pattern having 16 sts worked in stockinette st on each side of the ribbing for 1 in., then work 22 sts in stockinette st on each side of the ribbing for 1 in. Continue adding 6 sts to the stockinette sts on each side, every inch, until there are only 3 ribs of P 2, and 2 ribs of K 4, in the center. Work in rib pattern over these 14 sts, working stocki­nette st over remaining sts for 1 in., then work all sts in stockinette st to shoulder edge.
