Notes

sleeve placement based on Gretchen Cardigan - no pattern support received despite pattern’s promise - ended up making it up as I went

  • work 33 rows granny stitch triangle
  • next row work 8 clusters, skip 10 - continue in stitch pattern until 18 clusters from end - skip 10 - work until end

body:

  • decrease one cluster at the beginning of each row - work 10 rows

squaring off the body (right side of triangle when pointing upwards):

  • RS: decrease at beginning of row (first row turn once you reach triangle point)
  • WS: decrease at beginning and end of row
  • repeat until 16 clusters left

left side of triangle:

  • RS: decrease at beginning and end of row
  • WS: decrease at beginning of row
  • repeat until 16 clusters left

work 2 rows of sc around entire edge

  • 1sc in top of each dc in granny cluster and ch sp
  • 2sc in side of dc and turning chains

button band:

  • using 5mm hook, ch10 for sc ribbing
  • button hole: RS 4sc blo ch1 sk2 3sc blo - WS 3sc blo 2sc in ch sp 4sc blo
  • work 6 rows between each button hole

tapered sleeve based on Campfire Cardigan

  • using 6mm hook, work dec repeat 6 times - did not break yarn between repeats
  • work 2 rounds with no decrease
  • sc in top of each dc and ch sp
  • ch11 for sc ribbing

If I make this again, I will shift the first button hole up 6 rows and make it shorter so I can have ribbing along the bottom edge
