Notes:
Sleeper is started at the center bottom and worked in the round until the opening starts.
An option is to ignore the button holes all together and replace with snaps instead.
Sleeper is made by knitting the body first and then each arm. Stitches that are slipped from the top of the body and each arm onto waste yarn are then picked up again and the neck band is knitted on. The arms are then sewn to the body.
The lace pattern used in the body will give it a fair amount of stretch.
Stitch sequences outlined in (red) denote rows or segments of the chart that are repeated in the round. Check the written instructions for correct stitch counts.
When the number of stitches in a round changes, the new stitch count is written at the end of the round in (blue italics).
