    Other : I decided to use buttons with little flowers on then. I bought a pack of 60 mixed ones online. I used a different button for each loop and on the tab at the back. It gave it a nice country cottage sort of look. My friends were delighted. I also got so

    Measurements

    The 1st in the grey and the 2nd & 3rd sizes in

    Notes: I am allergic to wool, so used Cotton. Size was quite good to pattern, but strangely one side of the knitting was longer than the other. Fine when sewing seams together, but to even up front edges, I weaved a length of yarn up the edge of the longer side of the front edges and teased it until it matched the other side. This seemed to correct the problem. The weight of the Cotton made it more like a little jacket, but still soft and cosy.
