The Cambridge Cardigan is the quintessential collegiate cardigan. Inspired by Scottish tartans, this preppy, oversized cardigan is ready for a chilly library, reading on the quad, or a beer at the local pub. The body of this project is worked in the round and steeked at the center and armholes.

Gauge: 24 sts and 33 rnds = 4” in St st on larger needle; 24 sts and 33 rnds = 4” in
charted patt on larger needle.
Duplicate stitch or Crochet slip stitch note:
I only worked duplicate stitch on the center two boxes on the back and five boxes closest to the opening on each front while the original plan was to do it all over hence the pattern text specifies all. So you knit the center stitch of the pattern repeat with the MC and then either use duplicate stitch or slip stitch/crochet with CC2 above it.
