Beautiful pattern that is really lovely to make.
I just did one pattern repeat, then the wedding for the arms.

Egging around the arms and bottom as follows: sc(dc) in each st, the in the ch spaces and sc(dc)2tog in the reduced sections. This keeps the ripple look that I like.

Added the button a little way down the side and I’m using the openings that the edging created for the button hole.

I was surprised that it two just short of two balls. About two and a half yards left, I love it when I get it just right on using all the yarn.
