My mods

Working with 5 mini skeins, I calculated that the st st area in each color between the mosaic sections needs to be approximately 4 cm long on the body (this is size 0-3 months).

So I worked as follows after dividing for sleeves:

  • color C: 4 cm from end of B+C mosaic (just above dividing)
  • mosaic colors C+D
  • color D: 4 cm from end of mosaic
  • mosaic colors D+E
  • color E: 4 cm from end of mosaic
  • color A: bottom rib

I worked the buttonholes on row 3 of the buttonband instead of row 4 - I tend to find the buttonholes a bit flimsy when placed in the middle of the buttonband. Placing them a row earlier gives a little more sturdiness, and the buttons usually end up aligning better to the center.
