Buffalo Cardigan Pattern 1960s

In 1962 my mother made this cardigan for my father and I fondly remember him wrapping a 3 year old me inside it to keep warm at the windy beach. To find this pattern after 50 years, has made me determined to bring this memory of my father back to life. I have never knitted before and had to learn from scratch but already, I have 2 sleeves and half the back complete. Thanks Mary Maxim
