Notes

Take two. This time I followed the pattern almost exactly and ended up with a baby-sized sweater. Huh. What do ya know?

Buttonhole rows: 7, 23, 39, 55, 71, 87.

Increase rows: 9, 18, 27. Increased with K1, KFB.

Held sleeve stitches on holders to knit them in the round after the body was complete: row 44.

Last row of gull pattern on body: 86.

Decrease and start of garter stitch border: row 87.

I knit this in a few days in January and finished up the last sleeve in March. It sat untouched for all of February. Irony?

Plenty of yarn left over.
Blocked measurements:
10” wide
11” long (back of neck to bottom hem)
5.5” armpit to sleeve hem

I adored this yarn. The color was awesome and it was very soft and nice to knit with. (Full disclosure: the recipient is a bit of a drooler and the color bled onto her white shirt where the sweater was wet around her neck.)
