Notes

It says to use a 16 inch needle for the body…. that’s a joke, right? I used something more like a 29”.

Used a random ball of aqua yarn, something a bit scratchy, maybe wool, to collar and hems, and I used the larger needle size throughout. Waist hem a bit shorter because I was running out of yarn. Eyelet pattern turned out a bit weaker on the right leaning side of the pattern, I think I was twisting the stitch wrong or something.

Overall, turned out pretty well, I think. Maybe a bit bulky around the mid-section, due to the bulkier yarn.
