NUTTU JA KYPÄRÄMYSSY (Jacket and Hat)

This post really only pertains to the knitters out there.  I found a hat pattern that I like, for the bambini, so I translated it.  I hope I translated it well, but not havging knit it yet, there's no way to know.  Anyway, below is the English translation of the original Finnish pattern Jacket and Hat by Arja Viitala

Right front: Knit as same for left front, adding button holes every 1.5”, starting 1 ¾” from CO edge, as follows: K3, K2tog, YO, K to end **

** Be sure to do neckline decreases on the same edge as you did the button holes!

Finishing:

Sew Shoulder seams, attach the sleeves and sew sleeve and side seams. Crochet around the edges as follows: *1sc, 2 ch, 1 dc, skip s 2-3 or 5-6 rows in between* repeat between **

~I do not crochet, so I am not sure if the above makes any sense in crochet language.

Attach buttons, weave in ends and block.
