knitting about 3 or 4 more inches of stockinette after the hip increases to add length.

Nov. 15, 2012: Added more like 6 inches in length to the body. The bright spot in the vest-like WIP photo is a stitch marker marking where the pattern wanted me to start the hem.

Instead of using hooks and eyes, I used 4 buttons and put buttonholes in one of the ruching bands.
