from the book:

A plush cardigan blends vintage flair with a modern fit in a luxurious alpaca yarn. This cardigan is knit in one piece without any seams. The lower piece is knit in one piece from the bottom edge up, with the edge stitches placed on a holder until they are grafted to the upper body and sleeves. The sleeves are worked in the round, and the slant of the V-neck is achieved with short rows.
