Errata

Need 7 buttons total. Tip: The best way to space buttonholes evenly is to place markers along right front edge, first 1/2" from neck edge, last 1/2" from lower edge, then measure the spacing and, using your gauge (if different than the stated pattern), calculate the number of rows that should be worked between buttonholes.
