Treat Yourself Cardigan
The body is knit from the bottom up, without waist shaping so the lace pattern is easy. At the underarms the back and fronts are divided. The left front is worked first, including some stitches that were cast on for the sleeve. Then the back is knit, including stitches picked up along the left front sleeve cast-on edge, and stitches cast on for the right sleeve. Finally, the right front is worked, including some stitches picked up along the right sleeve cast-on from the back. At the shoulders the fronts and backs are joined with a three-needle bind-off. Some bands are picked up and knit and you’re done!
