Notes

This little number definitely turned out bigger than expected - I think it’s partially because I bumped up a needle size. I also made it longer than called for because my buttons were so big, I needed to space out the buttonholes a little more. I also did a knitted I-cord around the collar just to get it to lay flatter and look sturdier.

Rather than knit the sleeves flat and seam them, I just joined them and knitted them in the round after picking up a few stitches from the armhole.

The buttons came from Oruaka.etsy.com - I think they absolutely make it! I had gotten them in a Phat Fiber Box and just LOVED them. This was the perfect pairing.
