An open-front cardigan knit top-down and seamlessly with simultaneous set-in sleeves. (One side of each pocket does need to be stitched down.) The body and sleeves are trimmed in garter stitch, which conceals the large front pockets. The samples shown were knit in two colors, but the sweater can also be knit in one.

This cardigan is constructed using Barbara Walker’s method of knitting the sleeve caps along with the upper body. To make it a bit easier to navigate that area with all the different increase rates, a pdf with single-page worksheets for each size is included with line-by-line instructions and stitch counts that can be used if desired. You only need to print the page for your size.

Choose a size that gives you the amount of ease you prefer - 0-2” of ease is recommended. Shown modeled with about 2” of positive ease in the photos with the yellow T-shirt.
