Form and function unite as one in this clever cardigan: a built-in belt wraps around the waist and stays put with the help of a large button. Knit from the bottom up, the Belt Cardi is knit back and forth, and the sleeves are knit in the round up to the underarm where they are joined to the yoke. The border is knit along with the body, and once the yoke is completed, the border continues along the neckline. As for the belt, it is picked up and knit outward from the border.

Finished Measurements: 20 (24, 28, 32, 36, 40, 44)” finished waist measurement; garment is meant to be worn with no ease. If your waist is between sizes, knit the next size up and make the belt shorter

Errata:
The end of Row 50 should say LKI, k4, SM, rather than LKI, k4, k4, SM.

There was some mixup in rows 97-103 of the body. They should be knit in the order of the numbers. In addition, after “as est. to” on row 97 is actually the end of row 100. The correct end for row 97 can be found at the end of 102, after “206, 218) sts.”

Row 4 of the yoke currently reads: Work in pat as est to first marker, SM, k4, k2tog 0 (0, 1, 0, 1, 1), k 154 (174, 192, 210, 224, 248, 268), ssk 0 (0, 1, 0, 1, 1), k4, work in pat as est to end. 184 (204, 224, 240, 264, 288, 308) sts.
It should be: Work in pat as est to first marker, SM, k4, k2tog 0 (0, 1, 0, 1, 1, 1), k 154 (174, 192, 210, 224, 248, 268), ssk 0 (0, 1, 0, 1, 1, 1), k4, work in pat as est to end. 184 (204, 224, 240, 264, 288, 308) sts.
