85sts for bands, 6 rows deep then cast off row.

  • did need a line of double crochet at the neck to draw it in and stabilise it.

23 dec - found stash buttons that work! Hooray!!
22 dec - finally finished sleeves.
10 sep - working on the sleeves
4 sept - bands done, only made 4 buttonholes. Sleeves - R (L) - pick up 4 (3) sts, 2 extra, sts on hold, 2 extra, 3 (4) sts. K 3 (2), ssk, k2tog, k to last of held sleeve sts, ssk, k2tog, k 2 (3).
31 aug 2019 - oops, appear to have used 3.75mm throughout. So didn’t do any increases before hem ribbing. And gauge is way off, more like 19sts instead of 22. Cast off body. Neck is v loose, will have to tighten somehow and I think the bottom ribbing will need stabilising too.
