Narrow columns of eyelets shoot up this fun, seamless cardigan. Knit from the top down, the cardigan starts with the upper back. Stitches are picked up from the cast-on edge to knit the left and right upper fronts, and everything is joined together when stitches are cast on for the underarms. The body is knit with waist shaping, and a triangle eyelet motif adds the finishing touch. When the body is complete, stitches are picked up around the sleeve caps, which are shaped using short rows. Choose a size to fit with 0-3 inches of negative ease.

The pattern includes both written and charted instructions for the eyelet triangles.
