This pattern and yarn were a joy to work with. Some changes were made to the pattern, just for personal preference. I did not care for the "round" look in the original pattern so did not switch to larger needles after the first two garter rows. The neck edging lays better if all edges are bound off and the stitches picked-up all the way around and then knit vs. picking-up and knitting each stitch.
The original buttons were a clear pink strawberry, but of course I managed to lose them. But I do like these as well.
