Simplicity and function go hand-in-hand with this cardigan. Perfect in natural, undyed colors of wool, you’ll be grabbing this cardigan whenever you want that little extra warmth on chilly days.
Work the body in one piece from the bottom to the armholes, work the sleeves separately in the round from the cuff up. Join the pieces to work the yoke in one piece - the only seams are at the bottom of the armholes, which can be joined using 3-Needle BO or grafting them together.
Although only 6 buttonholes are worked, you can easily add more to button the cardigan down to the bottom edge of the body.
