Tips For This Project:

• Use two smaller double-point needles (size 6 recommended) when working I-cord for tighter and neater-looking finished results.

• Larger buttons can be used by attaching them to the earflaps through the buttonholes in the ribbing (though the earflaps will no longer be detachable).

Tips For This Project:

• If your actual measurements fall in between finished measurements (there is a significant gap between sizes, I know) try knitting the larger size on smaller needles for a better fit.

Tips For This Project:

SLITHER XLS CHART to help with decreases, buttonholes, and stripes.

• To avoid having to buy a second skein of MC, you can substitute one strand of very closely matching worsted weight wool you may have in your stash when working the cuff. Though, in all honesty, a nearly-whole skein of Cascade 220 is never unwelcome in my house.

• Buttons can also be attached as-you-knit, then reinforced on the wrong side during finishing.

• If you're having trouble with the color and shaping directions, try charting the stripes, decreases, and buttonholes over 80 rows. I have done this, though I'm not sure Knitty would permit me to post it.

• Shown here with Dill Buttons #D379 (5/8”) and #D381 (7/8") purchased at Michael Levine in Los Angeles.
