The current photo is of my original model. As published, the pattern does not include belt loops.

Gauge: 20 sts to 7.25 inches and 10 rows to 6.5 inches.

Sizing: To fit bust: 31.5 (34.25, 37.25, 41, 43.25) inches/80 (87, 95, 104, 110) cm
Finished bust: 41 (42, 45, 45, 51) inches/104 (107, 114, 114, 130) cm

Design Details:

  • Very loose fitting
  • Body length to upper thigh
  • Set-in sleeve with moderate cap shaping
  • Wrap front

From the book: This comfortable cardigan is roomy enough to layer over another sweater on very cold days, but cool enough to wear over a lightweight shirt on warmer ones. Gentle shaping by using stitch variations rather than increases and decreases eliminates bulk at the bust and waist.
