cast on with alternate cable cast on for 2x2 ribbing http://www.woollywormhead.com/blog/2012/1/5/alternate-cab...

started contrast color (grey) after one setup row.

should have gone down a needle size (4.0mm and 4.5mm) as this yarn is a bit thin for 5mm. knit on the sleeves flat (back and forth), and seamed, for jogless stripes. sleeves 34 stitches wide, so 32 stitches with 2 stitches for the seam.

used a tubular knit 2x2 ribbing cast off with a sewing needle everywhere to go with the cast on edge. knit an extra stitch on each end of the button band so k3, p2, k2, k3 as seen from the front. knit in 7 button holes with yo/k2tog, in the purl ditch every other ditch.
