Move the stitches of the first sleeve onto a holder.
Knit the second sleeve the same way.

Transfer the stitches of one sleeve, the body and the second sleeve onto the circular needles in this order: 42 back stitches, 28 sleeve stitches, 42 front stitches, 28 sleeve stitches. You now have 140 stitches.
Rows 32–56: work the 25 rows of the yoke following the “Coquette” chart. ↓ Download the Coquette chart (PDF)

Tip · Check your stitch count against the marks on the Coquette chart: 120 stitches at chart row 9, 100 at row 16, 80 at row 17 and 60 at row 21.

When the yoke and all its decreases are done you should have 60 stitches. Switch to the main colour.
Row 57: work 1×1 rib (knit 1, purl 1), decreasing evenly across the row (knit 1, purl 2 together) = 40 stitches.
Rows 58–74: work 1×1 rib tightly.
Bind off loosely.
Sew the underarm seams.

Done!
