Using the stitch counts from Lille Crispin without the texture pattern

Body weighs 62g

I picked up 2 extra stitches under the arm to close any gaps and decreased them in the next round. I didn’t have enough rounds in the sleeve to work all of the decreases as instructed in the pattern but I worked the last pair of decreases in the last round before the ribbing to get the right stitch count.

27-07-2024

42 rows for the sleeve before 7 rows of ribbing. The sleeves and body both turned out a bit shorter than they should have, even though I was measuring as I went.

Picked up 3/4 sts for the button band (76 sts total) and worked rib for 7 rows.

For button holes, I worked 4 sts, then made a hole. Worked roughly 15 sts between each subsequent hole.
