Now, continue your increases by repeating rows 9 & 10, and begin buttonholes. Buttonholes are worked
every 12 rows and are marked by **.
On your first repeat of row 9, **work as above to last 6 sts, K3, yo, k2tog, K1. = first buttonhole made

Row 9... then on this WS row, P until you get to the first set of sleeve stitches and put them on waste
yarn, P until next set of sleeve stitches and put onto waste yarn. Finish row 10 as above.
Increases are finished at this point. You now have 2 buttonholes. Now you will be knitting plain
stockinette stitch, keeping the garter stitch border by knitting the first and last 6 stitches no matter
which side you are. Continue working a buttonhole row every 12 rows, and as indicated by the **.
Repeat row 35 & 36, then 4 repeats of row 37 & 38 to give you 4 buttonholes, and now you are starting
your decreases on the the RS row (just before your next buttonhole). I counted out where the side
seams are, and put a marker on either side for my decreases. There are 3 decrease rows, beginning on
row 57 (RS), as follows:
Decrease row (row 57 RS): Slip 1, K to 1 st before marker, SSK, K2, K2tog, K to 1 st before marker, SSK,
K2, K2tog, K to end
Row 59: Work as row 35 since this is your 5th buttonhole row
On next RS row (row 83), you will be doing an increase row, as well as a buttonhole. Work row 83 like
you did row 9, adding in a buttonhole at the end of the row.
Rows 100 - 110: repeat row 99, working a buttonhole row on row 107 (9 buttonholes total)
