cast on 111 stitches, on advice from other projects. divided so as to take 5 stitches from each front and 10 from the back, so each front is 31st and the back is 49st. because of this, bound off 5 fewer stitches on each neck edge

knit 4 rows plain on each sleeve after ribbing & before decreases

decided not to do neckband, instead improvised a few rows of crochet to neaten it up a bit, and called it done

no way should this have taken me a full week, except kiddo was home sick and I couldn’t work on it in front of her! :)

pics are before neck finishing, and sans buttons; 2nd pic is with my Eyelet Hem Skirt
