This was a test knit for Heidi, so I followed the pattern pretty closely.
Opted for garter edging for the bottom edges on sleeves and body using smaller needles as oppose to I-cord. Both are options in the pattern. I did 6 rows of garter instead of 4 suggested.
I lengthened the body by about 3cm.

Tips:

• when the pattern says ‘Continue Body’, instead of casting on stitches, pick them up from the bumps of the wrong side, so you eliminate sewing the pieces later

• after Left Pocket Lining is done, cut yarn long enough so you can sew that side of the Pocket to the Body (less ends to weave :)

• do not do the Right Pocket Lining when it says so in the pattern, but rather hold off on that

• do not cut yarn after finishing Right Pocket

• use the yarn left from Right Pocket to knit Right Pocket Lining ( I did that after joining Pockets to Body and knitting 11 rows)

• some other suggestions have been incorporated in the pattern
