Notes

Some of the Sleeve and Yoke Sections have different directions for different sizes. To keep the parenthesis the same, sizes which are not represented in those directions are !ed out. When there is only one size in a section only the numbers for that section are listed.

“Work in pattern” is used in some places to indicate that the knits should be knit and the purls should be purled. “Work even” means to work in pattern with no increases or decreases.

I strongly suggest going through the pattern before you begin and highlighting all of the sections and numbers for your size.
This pattern uses single crochet for finishing, as well as double and treble crochet to make the buttonholes. There is a video tutorial on my blog demonstrating this technique.

When reading the charts, note that the two out-of-repeat stitches are not worked in the middle (Sweater Back) sections. The out of repeat stitches are not needed on the sleeves.
