This little cardigan is knit from the bottom up with fronts that go up the sweater diagonally. Please note that I am a left-handed “mirror knitter,” so my cardigans have the “steps” going up from left to right. If you are right-handed, yours will go from right to left, as you can see in some of the project photos from the testers. The button-band front is narrow and the two fronts only overlap at the buttonband, to keep the cardigan from being too bulky.

Sleeves are knitted in the round on dpns, but if you’d prefer to knit them flat, you can find that modification here. Thanks to shel01 !
