Notes

Making a small jacket for my new granddaughter as she’s tiny and most of her clothes are too big.
Have undone it about 4 times.
I think the initial chain count needs to be 30, leaving you with 29 plus a turning chain. Otherwise I kept having one left over.
The rest of the errors were mine.
First I forgot the increases at the start and end of rows and wondered why my edges were straight. Ha ha.
Then I somehow ended up with more stitches on one front edge :(
I’m hoping I’ve got it correct this time.
I probably would have it finished by now if it weren’t for my errors.

Made the yoke shorter to get the chest measurement correct. Only 10 rows.
The sleeves are 6 rows.
Made annedging of single crochet around the neck and front, and the bottom of the sleeves.
Ran out of the Vintage yarn so the sleeves had to be edged in the lighter colour.
Only need to darn in the ends and add buttons.

Finally got to use some wooden buttons that have been in my stash for ages.
All done.
