BUTTONBAND
We recommend working the button band before the
sleeves so you can accurately check the fit for the sleeve
length.
All sizes
With smaller needle, starting at the bottom right corner
with RS facing, *pick up and knit 2 sts for every 4 rows, then
backwards-loop cast-on one st*; Rep from * to end. Note
that because of the slipped stitches at the start of every
row in stockinette, you pick up stitches in each of two
selvedge strands and then backwards-loop cast-on one st,
for a pick-up ratio of 3 stitches per 4 rows. Make sure to
pick up an odd number of stitches in total.
Row 1 (WS): Sl1wyif, *k1, p1tbl; Rep from * to end.
Row 2 (RS): Sl1wyib, *p1, k1tbl; Rep from * to end.
Row 3: Rep row 1.
Row 4: Buttonhole row: Sl1wyib, p1, k1tbl, *yo, k2tog, (p1,
k1tbl) 3 times; Rep from * 3 more times, yo, k2tog, *p1,
k1tbl) to end.
Row 5: Rep row 1.
Row 6: Rep row 2.
Row 7: Rep row 1.
Bind off in pattern.
Note: if you worked your cardigan body longer than the pattern
states, you will need to adjust your buttonhole placement. Mark
the first buttonhole 3 sts in as indicated in row 4. Mark the last
buttonhole approximately 1” down from the last front body
increase. Place buttonholes evenly between these marked sts.
Place a buttonhole approximately every 1.5-2” : depending how
much longer you have knit the body, you may need more than
five buttonholes.

Put held sleeve sts on 16" main gauge needles. Knit across
these stitches, pick up and knit 2, 2 (2, 4, 4, 4) (4, 4, 2) sts,
