Lion Brand Notes:

Cardigan body is knit sideways, from right sleeve to left sleeve.

The body is divided vertically to shape the neck and horizontally to create the front opening.

Side triangles are knit separately, then inset into each side of Cardigan.

Ed. note: Pattern can be adapted for boys or girls (reverse buttons/buttonholes).
