Sleeves
Use a crochet hook and pick up sts around the arm hole. Start working at the $^{\prime\prime}2$ st BO" Work on a small circular needle or 5 DPN needle, and pick up about 41 - 42 sts (about 4 sts $=$ inch). Knit in the round. On row 3, start decreasing on the underside of the sleeve. K1, k2 tog, kuntil3 sts before the end of the row, k 2 tog through back loop, k1. Continue this decrease on every fifth row, untilyou have about 31 - 32 sts left. Work a total of 44 rows counted from the beginning of the sleeve. (lf you want a longer sleeve, work a few more rows, now.) Change to Us 2 needles $(3\,\mathsf{m m})$ and purl 2 rows. Decrease 5 sts (p2 tog $\times\,5$ ) on next row, evenly spread. Purl one more row, and BO.

Use yarn remnants in the colors you prefer. I used a pink Cascade 220 Wool. Row 1: Crochet hook $(3-3.5\;\mathrm{mm})$ .Ch 4 sts and join to a ring. Row 2: Make 7 dc in the ring. Row 3: Keep crocheting around, 1 dc in previous rows dc, but increase 3 dc sts in this row by making 2 dc in 1 three times. Row 4: Make 1 dc in every sts.
Row 5: Keep crocheting around, 1 dc in previous rows dc, but decrease 3 dc sts in this row by making skipping 1 dc thre times. Row 6: Make 1 dc in the st you skipped (3) from last rnd. Leave a long tail, and sew the openings shut, sew straight through the button, back and forwards, again and again, forming it to a firm small ball. Make two more and attach them to the jacket.
