Mods:

• heavier yarn, so smaller size
• made buttonholes all the way down to have 8. Turns out I have 6 buttons, so closing up the top and bottom buttonholes. Not sure if that is a good idea, as I don’t get the fly-away bottom look.
• followed the hood pattern from Flyaway Hoodie to add short rows at the end before grafting.

Notes:
Back- 36 rows then start armhole. 3 increases. 85 st. End row 19. Last increase row 6.
- 29 grams at start of sleeves. Pick up 68. 4 at bottom and rest 2 for 3.

Yarn:
Decided to use Erin, which is closer to the pattern gauge rather than Katmandhu (Aran) or Chunky.
