There’s no way someone could sew in this furry mess…
I’m not even able to tell which side i’m working on.

Besides, it’s not as fast as you could think because
1/ you have to work each stitch with extreme care to make sure you don’t loose one or two per row.
2/ you can’t work long on it counting everything like that.

That’s why I cast-on both fronts and the back and knitted them together.

I’ve put markers to separate the different parts thinking that in case of stitch loss it might help me find where but it didn’t work;

I’ve put a marker on RS but it dipped in the fur and passed through…

Lifeline every 10 rounds

Each sleeve used 1 skein.
There’s only 2 meters left over my 6 skeins used

• use a lining (ribbon or grosgrain or else ) to sew the buttons on it helps them not to pass through the knitting
• if you pass the buttons through the stitches as mentioned you will have to reinforce them afterwards with a few buttonhole style stitches
• the collar may need a bit of sewing to stay in place
