Alternate Button Band

• Instead of working the crochet neckband and button band as described in the pattern, I added a button band after finishing the cardigan body.
• Used this ‘join as you go’ button band: https://youtu.be/S8p5b9ga6yA?si=Eyn3ZaAmdZ6aY40N
• Along the neckband (CO edge), I didn’t YO, and instead picked up a stitch that was supposed to be skipped. This prevented extra gaps from forming, since this is a pretty loose knit.

i-cord

• Used 3.25mm needles for the i-cord
• Instead of working the I-cord edge along the WS, I cut the yarn and reattached to work along the RS. Used knitted CO method to CO 3 sts to start the I-cord.
