Pretty long-sleeve boat-neck cardigan, opening in the back. The front is one panel, the back is two, all knitted bottom-to-top. Sleeves are knit separately, wrist-to-shoulder. When it is made up, the two back panels overlap by 6-8 inches at the wide boat neck, with a single button on each shoulder very near the neck.

Yarn requirements are specified only in weight: “Sportweight mercerized cotton 10 x 2oz (50gm) balls”.

All instructions are text. The author judges its complexity to be “Grade 3” (of 5).
