Notes

4/1 Cast on.

I was knitting away on the second sleeve and I thought I should be finished by now. That’s when I realized that instead of picking up the underarm stitches and knitting it together with the edge stitch of the sleeve, I added it to the total number of sleeve stitches. Instead of 56 stitches for the sleeve, I had 92! So, I ripped out the second sleeve.

I knit the borders with a smaller needle to make the border a little firmer with the added bonus that it curls a little around the face on the hood. I made 2 stitch one row buttonholes.

5/11 I sewed the buttons on today. It is offically finished. I love it.
