This cardigan is knit from the bottom up and has a lovely cable and lace design. Although the bust measurements are taken from the flat, unstretched garment, the lace adds a lot of stretch when worn, so that the finished measurements are actually a few inches more. This is the socially acceptable wearable blanket we’ve all needed.

This Cardigan features cables and lace, knitting in the round (for the sleeves), and then flat knitting for the body and after the sleeves are attached. Towards the top, there are some short rows included, but every row is written out after the sleeves are attached, so that with each raglan decrease, you can keep track of where you should be.
