Notes

Tucker is 5 years old in the photo (12/21/21).

For some reason my row gauge for the sleeves was 8 rows/1” instead of 9 rows/1”. I worked the first increase on row 17 then increased every 16th row to 41 sts.

I worked the sleeve cap as directed in the pattern so it is 3” long instead of 2.75” long.

For the button bands I picked up 19 sts along the neck opening and 12 sts along the neck band instead of picking up 16 sts along the neck opening and 15 sts along the button band.

How to attach the button band. I whipstitched the right button band to the back strand of the front neck BO and attached the left button band using mattress stitch.

I used three 1 1/4” toggles from Amazon.
