This cardigan is worked from the bottom up in one piece.

The set-in sleeves are worked from stitches picked up around the armholes, so the only seams are the shoulder seams. The length is the same for all sizes, but if you would like to lengthen the cardigan, plan on both extra yarn and more buttons.
