the color is really cool, trust me. it will not photograph accurately. in real life, it’s closer to the blue color.

mod: i’m working the button band as i make the piece, not adding it afterwards.
the way I set it up:
when it tells you to cast on stitches for the front, cast on what it says, place a stitch marker, then cast on 6 more. those additional 6 will become the button band.
right front is worked first and the first row is a WS row. how to work those 6 stitches on the right front:
on a WS row: sl1wyif, k, p, k, p, k.
on a RS row, it’s just ribbing: p, k, p, k, p, k.
left front is worked second and the first row is a RS row.
how to work those 6 stitches on the left front:
on a RS row: sl1wyib, p, k, p, k, p
on a WS row: k, p, k, p, k, p
