Notes

Mods:
From Ishi’s mods

3 button holes.
Shorten yoke ribbing pattern by 2 rows each (total 6 rows).

No waist shaping

I added sleeves after the fact, total error on my part. I knew I wanted them but then forgot to leave stitches. So I just picked up what seemed like an appropriate amount, made some decreases that worked and it looks ok.

And for some reason I threw in 4 extra rows at the back, It worked out good.

In the future I’d make the bust bigger, do a 4th button hole and divide for sleeves per Ishi’s mods.

I’d also use a solid color I think.
