The pattern comes with treble clef and bass clef charts, and written instructions. Only print the pages you need.

Because the music design is fairly subtle, it works best with a smooth, solid yarn. The design gets lost in a variegated or tweed yarn.

This pattern can be easily adapted to fit a man or teenage boy. To do so, you would eliminate the waist shaping, and you might need to make the yoke a bit longer to fit comfortably. It would be easy to make the body and sleeves longer, as well.
