All ribbing faced to enclose raw edge and add structural stability to button band. The exception, sleeves, which were sc crochet along steeks, cutting close to first crochet line. When knit conjoined sleeves there is the ease in maintaining pattern idiosyncrasies but produces abulky seam.

NTS-think on facing before knitting rib.not as an afterthought for yarn this thin, esp at hem. Afterthought facing =Offset rib results. (Just an OCD moment)
Add 2 rows plain MC to end of sleeves to get a nicer result when seaming sleeves to body.
Next time ** TOP DOWN** sleeves

afterthought smallish sleeve gusset underarm for ease as I must have some incrediblely large guns. (Not)
Attach sleeves.Steam seams. stockinette facing each side after sleeves sewn tog.
