Notes

Very well written pattern - both charts and written instrunctions, 9 pages.

Held kidlin and alpaca together for body. Did shell stitch crochet edging around neck and bottom edge with kidlin and a J hook.

Didn’t like the way it overlapped so much at the neck when buttoned so made an afterthought buttonhole in the garter edge for top button. Reinforced with kidlin via the blanket stitch.

I wanted it to reach my hands so worked Chart A a total of 4 times.

I wear it often at work - so soft and keeps in warm in the office a/c. Really fun to make!
