IMPORTANT NOTE: This pattern creates an oversized knitted cardigan, it is made to be loose fitting. It is also long, the model in photos is 5 foot 4 inches tall and it falls below the knees. You can make it shorter if you want by doing less rows than the pattern calls for, there is a brief note in the pattern on how to do this. If you are looking for a fitted cardigan this is NOT the pattern for you, but if you are looking for an oversized, comfy, blanket like cardigan then this IS for you.
