With the big bad steek behind you, all that's left is the button placket, a piece of cake.
Picking up the button placket is pretty straightforward (detailed instructions on the original pattern).
You may notice that on the right side of the steek/left side of the sweater, some of the stitches you're using for your pick-up are less distinct than on the other side. (I'm guessing the stitches get tugged more when you're reinforcing from the hem up than from the collar down?) While it doesn't distort the fabric or the steek, it can make picking up every other stitch troublesome in spots. If this is your experience, don't sweat it. As long as you're essentially picking up every other stitch, you're fine (that is, if you pick up stitches 1, 3, 4, 7, and 9 instead of 1, 3, 5, 7, and 9, your sweater won't explode).
