Notes

Oh, jeez, this pattern was confusing. Sometimes they say work so many inches, and sometimes they say work so many rows. For the front, you’re decreasing the side every inch, but decreasing the center every 4th row - why not be consistent and use only rows? Also, the buttonhole placement on the right front is crazy. You have to understand there’s a button “band” about 4.5” down at the center where you cast on a few extra stitches, and THAT’s where you measure for your buttonholes - NOT from the stitch marker they constantly refer to for measuring. Also, the sleeves are 3/4 - not long. Here’s the blogpost about it with more pictures.

Updated 3/9/15 - I did another one with a different colorway, and got this one right! Buttonholes and fit are much better!
