Notes

Gauge is slightly off but measurements seem big so doing size 6/9m nonetheless which should come out slightly smaller and hence just the right size.

Pattern adapted for top-down, raglan lines to align with armholes. Trying jogless stripes.

Plato held double.

Buckingham on 3.5mm, Plato on 4mm except for ribbing on 3.5mm. Bo on 5mm.

Gauge
Buckingham 3.5mm 27 * 34 // 25.5 * 34
Plato 3.5mm 28 * 38 // 27.5 * 36 & 4.0mm 26 * 34 // 25.5 * 35
vs pattern 24 * 32
