Pattern Notes
This cardigan is knitted from the bottom up in the round with a central front steek worked throughout. At the armhole divide further steeks are added. The shoulders are joined together using a threee needle bind off. The sleeves are knitted separately from the bottom up then sewn into position. The button band is picked up and knitted afterwards. There is a full length chart for each size in the pattern, along with a corresponding steek chart.

The photographs show the second size worn with approximately 2.5cm (1in) of positive ease. It is suggested that you choose a size with approximately 2-8cm (.75-3in) of ease at the chest.
