Notes

Knit two :-)

Wrapping purl stitches following knit stitches the wrong way per Sarah’s suggestion - results are worth it!

Button bands: picked up 3 for 4 ==> 76 stitches. Worked on same needle as body. 12 rows rib, BO knitwise on wrong side, fairly tightly, for neat edge.

Buttonholes: because of lower stitch count, worked as follows: K3, rib 4, yo, p2tog, rib 14 to last 3 sts, end yo, p2tog, K3. ==> 5 buttonholes. On buttonhole side, work just 11 rows total, BO knitwise on right side.

Sleeves: on 2.5mm bamboo dpns. Pick up 40 provisional cast on stitches + 8 underarm stitches. Beginning at center underarm, knit around, picking up 2 extra stitches in each gap ==> 52 sts. On next round, decrease gap stitches to one (k2tog, ssk) ==> 50 sts.

Finished size after blocking: 18” around, 10.75” long. Total weight: 51g
Metal buttons engraved with the Spanish double eagle - just the thing.

Thanks whistlinggirl for the beautiful pattern!
