Notes
  1. Made body 4 1/2” instead of 4”.
  2. Worked the sleeve for 10 rows rather than 6 before BO, so that wrist would be a little bigger. Slipped first stitch on wrist edge purl wise, to make neater edge. Made sleeve 4 1/2” wide at wrist.
  3. Continued front until it matched back length. Did stretchy BO.-- knit the first two stitches together through the back loops. Next, return the single stitch that is on the right needle to the left needle by slipping it purlwise. Then, just repeat steps 1 and 2 across the whole row until all the stitches are bound off. Working on right front now. Have to figure out button holes. I must say this yarn is very soft and for a very reasonable price!

Made one row button holes using video from knitting help.com on YouTube. Blocked, sewed sides and arms, sewed on 2 tractor buttons and inside ties. I used the red and beige ribbon from the handles on an Antropology bag! Just the right weight ribbon.
Pleased with everything except the arm seams. They were messy looking no matter how I did it.
