Notes

November 7, 2022

Nov 6/22 Finished all the increases. I found the 3 increase sections a bit of a slog, hard to concentrate at knit night. Glad it’s over.

January 1, 2023

Almost finished.

Body knit to approx 12.5”
Hem knit 2”

Decided to add buttonband before heading to sleeve island.

Using 3.5mm, picked up stitches as recommended in pattern, ended up with more stitches then my size so did some decreases on the first WS round to 351 sts.
I had to figure out the button placement. Will add my notes. I used very pink knits tubular bind off for buttonband.
