PATTERN NOTES: The body of this cardigan is knit flat in one piece, beginning with the back hem and working up and over the shoulders.

Then, stitches for the sleeves are picked up from around the armhole openings and knit seamlessly in the round from the top down.

This cardigan is intended to be worn with a generous amount of positive ease in the body, though the sleeves are more fitted. Due to the open nature of the cardigan at the bust, finished measurements are given based on back width at the bust (measured from center of underarm to center of underarm). It is recommended to choose a size approximately 4 inches larger than your actual back bust width. Further measurements for each size can be found on the schematic.
