Knit back of sweater to same length as front section all ready completed in desired pattern. You can knit it to match your current front or can chose to keep it in the main color. I decided to make my back in stockinet but, made sure I kept my first and last four stitches (at the sleeve ends) in Knit.

Final front :

Working on final 50 sts.

Work exactly the opposite as other front starting at row 37 but, cast on your 15 sts. at the underarm . Work until piece is the same size as other front and arm section matching your striping and making your decreases as a K2 tog instead of the SSK. Attach yarn and :

Row 7: K across until 6 sts remain, K2 tog, K4

Work to match front. Sew top of sleeve seams and underarms. Add as many buttons as desired. I used three on the front (every other button hole) and two flat buttons on the inside.
