The unusual construction of this cardigan makes this a very fun knit. Worked from side to side starting at the center of the back, curvy short row hip shaping, clever side joining and short row sleeve caps can introduce you to several new techniques.
Vertical accent rows add visual interest and help make this a very flattering knit.
