Notes

Mack is 8 months old in the photo (12/7/19).

I forgot to measure the length of the front and back with the knitting slightly stretched. With the knitting stretched the sweater is 11” long instead of 11.5”.

My unstretched row gauge was 6.5 rows/inch instead of 8 rows/inch. I worked 38 rows green (ending with pattern row 2) instead of 44 rows.

Sleeve errata: “Keeping 2 sts each side as k on RS as established, inc 1 st each side (working new sts in k2, p2 rib) every 6th row 6 (2, 7) times more, then every 4th row 0 (7, 1) times.”

Since my row gauge was off I changed the sleeve shaping. I increased every 4th row starting on row 9 with the last increases on row 45.

I used three 5/8” buttons from Joann Fabrics.

Measurements:

  • Chest: 21.5”
  • Length: 11.5”
  • Sleeve Length: 7.75”
  • Upper Arm: 9”

Unstretched Measurements:
