I knit the sleeves 8” long instead of 7.5” long.

I worked the buttonholes one stitch farther in from the edge so the buttonholes would be more centered on the button band: knit to last 5 sts, k2tog, yo, work last 3 sts.

I used a three needle bind off for the shoulders.

I used five 3/4” buttons from Hobby Lobby.
