With a generous fit, oversized sleeves, split hem, and pockets, this is the perfect cardigan to cozy up with a good book and hot tea on a fall evening. The main body of the garment is worked flat in pieces and then seamed together for more structure. The drop shoulder sleeves are worked in the round. Pockets are attached by picking up stitches as you go. This is a quick knit with just enough detail to keep it interesting. Enjoy!
