This was actually a fairly fast knit.

Changes to the pattern for my project:

• Body seemed long, and I was running out of yarn fast, so only knit 24 rows (4.5”) before beginning 8 row ribbed hem.
• Button band and collar - my ratio with my gauge ended up being 4 picked up stitches per 5 rows. From the hemline to the collar I picked up 11 sets of 4 stitches, then worked out 1/1 ratio across the neck. I did have to pick up two extra stitches along the stranding section to even out my ribbing. This allowed it to end and begin with a K2.
• ribbing - since the button band was 8 rows tall I opted to do the same on the cuffs and hemline.
