    Thanks for this adorable pattern!
    If I wanted to make this with long sleeves, how should I modify the pattern?

      Use the pattern for the sleeves from one of my long-sleeved cardigans (for the appropriate age/size.) M

    Is there a mistake after 4th buttonhole row on 3-6 mth size? It says k4 on purl rows when previous purl rows have been k5?
