Notes
  • I LOVE this color and yarn. Gorgeous!!
  • Lace on the fronts only. Beautiful detail
  • Gauge is 21 sts and 31 rows
  • I can’t believe I didnt note the needle i used. I think it was a 3.75mm for the body - same as in the Baby Kina I made. Probably a 3.25mm needle for the ribbing
  • I spaced out the raglan increases similar the pattern. Cast on exactly to pattern and over 58 rows, i ended up with 39,56,82,56,39 and then split with no cast-on sts under the arms
  • Picked up 3 sts out of every 4 and ended up with 197 sts on each side of the button band
  • 12 rows on the button bands. Buttonholes placed on row 6.
  • Used this buttonhole over 4sts and I even swatched testing out on a 7/8” button

Yarn Usage

  • 26 grams of 1st skein left after last yoke row

  • Body weighs 256 grams and I have 308 grams of yarn left from 5 skeins

  • Body weighs 398 grams with sleeves so each sleeve weighs 71 grams

  • Body with hood and no button band weighs 482 grams. Good thing these skeins weigh more than 100 grams each

  • Half the button band weighs 27 grams
