Notes

Buttons are by Dill Buttons of America Inc. Item 246265 Color 24 - Used 9

Gauge: 5spi / 7rpi
Back Neck: 5 1/2”
Cast-on Split: 1/1/9/1/27/1/9/1/1

Increased at neck edge every other RS row until fronts had 41 stitches

Increased Sleeve stitches until I had 70, cast on 5 extra under each arm.

Stopped increasing before I was ready to break off the sleeves. Didn’t want baggy armpits!

Decreased 2 stitches every 5 rows on the sleeves until I had 40 stitches. When ready for ribbing, knit 5 inches of sleeve ribbing.

3 inches of ribbing on cardigan bottom, 1 inch on the button band.

There is waist shaping - Decreased 2 1/2inches over 5 inches, knit 2 inches even, then increased 6 inches over 8 inches.
