Pattern appears to be available only in kit form.

This pattern contains everything you need to know to make a vest or cardigan with different sleeve lengths out of FIVE different Darn Good Yarns!

This is a fairly simple pattern worked flat from side to side. It utilizes knits and purls, as well as binding off and casting on stitches to create armhole openings. The cardi can easily be tried on as you work to make sure it fits you as you wish.

Each yarn will create a slightly different cardi but the average size of the XS-M should block to about 40inx20in to fit chest sizes 28-38”. The M-XL, to fit chest sizes 38-48”, will block to about 50inx22in. The cardis pictured in the pattern are all size XS-M and worn on both a 28” chest model and a 38” chest model.

When checking gauge remember that these yarns do have thick and thin spots so measure a few different areas and average your stitches and rows to match the pattern gauge.
