If you’re like me, you’ll be reaching for this open-front cardigan again and again. In fact, I’m wearing mine as I’m writing this, while a second one is on the needles, beckoning me to finish it.

It is worked seamlessly from the top down in a modular fashion, so lots of fun to knit. I especially love the border stitch pattern, which is reversible, and the slant pockets. They’re optional, but you’ll surely want some.
