#Notes
This comfortable, worn-open cardigan is easy to wear and provides a beautiful showcase for special yarn. Worked mostly in stockinette with diminishing seed stitch stripes, it is constructed in pieces from the bottom up and then seamed.
Vertical darts are used for waist shaping, and allow easy customization to fit your needs. As written, the front of the sweater is straight and the back is shaped; this gives a wonderfully relaxed feel without looking boxy.
