Notes

Mar 6, 2023 - Contemplating ripping and restarting this romper.

  1. The buttonholes are not centered in the band and because of the way the buttonholes are made there are loose strands at the back which will catch as it is buttoned.

  2. There are no extra stitches included on the fronts to account for the drawing in of the cables. This leaves a 3” gap between the button and buttonhole when the romper is laid flat folded at the side seam. When the button bands are together the underarm and front of sleeve are drawn too far to the front of the romper.

I think I will start with enough stitches to make a cable crossing early so the neckline isn’t overly large.

Started over. Not doing short rows. Buttons start low so I don’t think it is needed.
Row 6 start cables C5F, k3… k3, C5B
Buttonholes - k3, yo, k2tog, k1
Row 12 cables - k5, C5B … C5F, k5

I missed a few of the selvege stitches so I decided to single crochet around the front edges. It gives it a more finished look.
