Notes

Peggy Sue!!! Woowooo!!! How can you be so pretty and free?
Make with longer sleeves

Yoke after 10 row repeats: 31-29-59-28-31 counted from WS. oops missed 2 increases, should be 29 instead of 28 and 60 instead of 59. Worked 2 extra increases on each side of the second marker. It got my st count right but it messed up my nice raglan seam a bit… Oh well…
41-49-80-49-41 after 20 repeats
44-55-86-55-44 after 23 repeats
45-57-88-57-45 after 24 repeats = 292 sts
I have worked 24 repeats and I’m stopping here because I think the piece is wide enough (so switching to size small). I have 292 sts instead of 296 as stated in pattern for size S, will take this into account on next rows.
57 sts on hold for each sleeve.

Picked up 5 stitches from underarm = 62 sts

Decreased 7 sts on sleeves 27 cm after underarm.
30 cm after underarm, start sleeve cables.
Pattern for sleeve cables (worked in the round):
Rows 1 to 3: p2, k1tbl, p1, k1tbl, rep around
Row 4: p2, sl 2 sts to cable needle, k1tbl, slip purl st back to left needle and purl it, k1tbl from cable needle, rep around.

Knit each sleeve to 42 cm from underarm.

Picked up 100 stitches for button band which was probably too many because the edge looks a bit ruffled. Attaching pressure buttons so no need for button holes.
