Repeat the same in other side. In garment wrong side stitch up pocket edges on both sides. Button holes Take left front detail with right side facing you and start crocheting edge stitches from sweater bottom to top in this way: make 4(4)5(5)6(6)7(7) columns in single crochet and in the next stitch make 8 loop chain, further work in single crochet for 4(4)5(5)6(6)7(7)sts and in the next stitch make 8 loop chain. Make these holes every 4(4)5(5)6(6)7(7)sts for a total of 16 times. Stitch up buttons on rib stitch in the left front side: sweater must be laid flat so rectangles of pattern would match each other, straighten the crocheted button holes and stitch up the buttons.
