From Knitty:
This cardigan combines a lush, massive floral motif with a comfortable oversized fit for the perfect winter sweater!

Designed by the legendary Kaffe Fassett, this cardigan is knit in one piece from the bottom back hem up to the neck and then down each front for an almost seamless finished garment. Stitches for the sleeves are cast on at the underarm, and the sleeves, hem and neckline are finished with a garter stitch border. Minimal shaping means that you can focus on the challenge of stranded colorwork and intarsia for each flower motif.
