Notes

This is such a lovely, straightforward knit, and the yarn is so easy to work with. I’ll definitely make more!

Notes:
I added another buttonhole on row 21 - next time I make this I’d make them slightly larger.

Picked up a couple of extra stitches under the armhole to prevent holes, then decreased them on the next row.

I introduced the Stone yarn after the first full row following the dividing row work, working two rows to make one complete stripe.

Slipping the first stitch gives a clean edge when working with one colour but stopped the stripes looking neat at the edges, so I wouldn’t do that next time if I do stripes.
