ERRATA
There is a typo in the instructions for Broad Spiral Rib worked flat in the Knitcircus version---it should read:
Row 2 (RS): P2, *RT twice, p2; repeat from * to end.

If you have the PDF from Ravelry, this issue has already been corrected.

A basic stockinette cardigan with a (quite literal) twist, Sandrilene is a simple, fast knit with clever details that will keep even accomplished knitters entertained. A shoulder shaping method modified from Elizabeth Zimmermann creates a perfect fit with no sewing, picking up stitches, or even breaking yarn, while waist shaping and slim fitted sleeves create a flattering silhouette for all sizes. Plus, the plain, squooshy worsted merino yarn allows Sandrilene to transition easily from dressy holiday wear to a casual and cozy cardigan for long winter evenings by the fire, making this the perfect sweater to have on hand all season.
