Notes

The pattern calls for 9 oz. of Hema 3-ply wool. The yarn I’m using must be rather denser because I ended up needing 15 oz..

The pattern can be found here: https://vintagepatternfreak.patternbyetsy.com/listing/572.... Note that it is not raglan sleeved as the description states. I also think it’s 1940’s rather than 1930’s. Unfortunately, the seller doesn’t give the source of the original pattern. The buttonholes are quite small so I’m not sure the buttons shown on the image would fit well.
