Notes

Fifth one I’ve made, but who’s counting!
A favorite in my family.
Fashionable for all ages and all sizes.
An easy toss on garment for fall, winter and spring.
A sparkly hug from me all day!

Directions are clear and works up quickly.

Added ribbing at bottom, longer sleeves and button closure. I put the buttonholes on the wrong side. Oopsey. Oh, well.

Tip:
Use a 40” length circular needle.
I’ve been using a 32” needle and it’s hard on the hands when working the ribbing bands.
Once I had a US 15 in 32” and 40”, I worked the front band with the two. It was easier than working all the stitches on one circular.

I have details on modifications on my other projects for this design:
