This was a test knit for Olga.
It took me three tries (and three different yarns) to get the right gauge, but I persevered :)
Nice, simple pattern. It will be a staple.
The sleeves and the body knit straight in the pattern. While that looks lovely on Olga, I need help :))))

I did make some changes to the pattern:

• made the sleeves longer and made decreases every 24 rows for a total of 4 times;
• made the body longer as well, made 3 sets of decreases every 10th row for waist shaping, thus decreasing 12 sts total, knit straight, then made 4 sets of increases, 16 sts increased;
• 10 buttons used.

Love this jacket! Thank you, Olga!
