Very nice Kara, the big buttons really finish it off well! Great pictures, too, you are so cute in all your handknit winter wear!

Hi Thomasean,

I used a different yarn at a different gauge, and worked from the top down in one piece, adding buttonholes every 12 ridges as I went and knitting to fit myself. I also added a round collar instead of the original rolled edge, and made it a lot longer to be more coat-like. I increased a few times on either side of the side-columns of garter stitch to give more room in the hips. I didn’t write anything down, so all I can give you are these general guidelines. Good luck, and let’s see photos of YOUR interpretation of Jared’s lovely sweater!

Get yourself a copy of Knitting From the Top, by Barbara Walker. She’ll help you understand how to create a seamless sweater from the top down. :)
