Notes

Slipped first stitch on each row ( will knit one knit wise next time to avoid not having enough stitches to pick up for button band and collar.

M1R before marker and M1L after marker instead of backloop increase.

Knitted 5 rows after increases to split

Used cable cast on under arms https://youtu.be/cmaIYuHHlt8

34 rows to bottom edge from underarm pick up.

Picked up stitches using this https://youtu.be/euTp37dlhlM. Didn’t perfect it though…must try harder slightly_smiling_face

Found this helpful for finishing cuff https://youtu.be/TFY4R9N16hY

Because I slipped first stitch on each row I had difficulty picking up enough stitches for button band and collar. Next time I’ll knit first stitch on each row.

Made button holes on left for a boy working upwards on 5th row. K3 (make 3 stitch one row button hole K4) repeat () 4 times.

Last button hole slightly higher than recommended on pattern.

Used German short rows instead of w&t. https://youtu.be/i_6Pjl20zKA
