Notes

Doing the medium size (bust size 36 1/4 in, or CO 174 stitches).
Did the next size up for arms, and they are still a bit tight. Should loosen up just enough after blocking. Decreased 2 stitches each side when attaching arms to body, and then slowly decreased down to required stitch count before neck decreases.
Neckline is a bit tight. If I made this again, I would skip the last set of neck decreases.
Will be adding grosgrain ribbon on the inside of the buttonband, using the tutorial video made by the Knitmore Girls.
The patch pockets knit separately were too tricky to sew on evenly. Instead, I picked up 20 stitches directly on sweater front, and knit that way. Then whip stitched side edges. Much easier to sew neatly and evenly. http://susanbanderson.blogspot.com/2013/05/adding-patch-p...
