Notes

Knit size 46.75. Only mod I made was an extra inch in length.
Button Band/collar--377 stitches (might re-do this with a few less stitches, but for now I’m leaving it)
Sleeve ribbings--104 stitches

I used US6 for the ribbing and button band/collar, a US7 for the body of the vest.

I used 5 buttons with buttonholes.

1-11-26--Finished!

1-8-26--Almost there! Starting sleeve ribbing now and hopefully my buttons show up tomorrow.

1-5-26--Getting ready to sew shoulder seams and then the button band/collar and sleeve ribbing.

The cascade 220 is not superwash, the wrong labels were attached to these yarns. Using leftovers from my Saoco test knit that used Wisconsin Woolen Spun from Barrett Yarns for the ribbing and button bands.
