Listing review by Cindy Bigsby The picture of the cardigan shows 5 buttons evenly spaced from top to bottom and the instructions list only 2 rows where a button hole is knitted in. The pattern pictured on the cuffs of the sleeves is not what the instructions create. The fronts and back are knitted as one until the sleeve seoaration, but the picture of blocking doesn't show this. I guess for a $2.00 pattern I might be expecting too much, but these are clearly errors and misleading. I am experienced enough to improvise, but it is annoying.

Ordered this jumper pattern but when I downloaded it the pattern was only for a cardigan which I did not want. Seller was not very helpful!
