This cardigan is made in one piece and then seamed at the sides.
It’s a fairly quick make using the X-st (crossed DC).

It’s styled after a ’80s/’90s-style cardigan, with low buttons and a slightly oversized fit.

The cardigan has options for shorter or longer sleeves so you can style it to your liking.

Though I used Daily Stitch XL and Candy Pop, from Hobbii, this cardigan can be made with any yarn combination that meets the gauge. For example, match an Aran yarn with mohair, or double, to triple stand, with DK, or a thinner yarn, to make a fun-looking cardigan, or even a bulky yarn on its own!
Not following the gauge swatch might cause fitting issues in individuals, so I highly recommend that the gauge swatch is a must do!

Thank you for looking!
