… i tink therefore i am …

Or it might not.    The pattern is perfect as written but as a couple of us have already started it here are a few things we have learned along the way.

I did a crochet cast on and am slipping all my first stitches.

Several people suggest using four stitches before the button hole instead of three.

Some found it easier to mark the center increase stitch with its own marker on the actual stitch, some found it easier to put a marker either side.     Some people also worked out their own Make Ones instead of the ones suggested in the pattern.

For my increase row, I did not use yarn overs but used an invisible increase cos I didnt want the holes showing.

It was a concencus of at least me(!!) that if your counts are off by one or two and you dont want to rip, you can make up for the errors in the increase row, so long as you yourself personally are happy with it!!

Please add anything else you think of as you knit along…….I will post some pics soon….
