Notes

We are in love with this! Everyone is happy as it’s easy to put on, easy to wear, and the pockets are a big hit.

Pattern is perfect but made a few changes:

I did not make buttonholes and just sewed the buttons to the bands because I knew it would always be worn closed.

My texture stitch was simplified to:
R1 (RS) K
R2 P
R3 K
R4 K1, P1 to end
