Notes

I worked six rows of garter for the bottom bands instead of four rows.

For the garter stitch car chart I repeated the first two rows four times instead of three times because the car was looking a little small.

I usually work neck shaping decreases one stitch in from the edge, but I worked the decreases at the edge per the pattern for the aesthetic.

I used two 1 3/8” buttons for the wheels and six 3/4” buttons for the shoulders from Hobby Lobby.

Measurements:

  • Chest: 24” (to fit 22”)
  • Length: 15”
  • Sleeve Length: 9.5”
  • Upper Arm: 9.5”
  • Lower Arm: 6”

Total Cost: $26.49

  • Yarn: $23.96
  • Buttons: $2.53
