This is a long and roomy cardigan sweater, complete with two practical pockets, making it a truly functional garment.

When designing it, I wanted the sleeves to have a bit of puffiness, but without making the armhole too large.
If you prefer a larger armhole, remember to add more rows to increase the sleeve cap height, and also widen the sleeves accordingly.

The chart includes stitch and row counts for both L and XL sizes, so you can choose the one that fits you best.
The L size uses 7 balls of yarn, while the XL size uses 10 balls.

All edges are worked using a textured edge pattern instead of the standard 1x1 ribbing, giving the garment a livelier, more playful look.

The neckline is designed to be slightly wider, so it can be paired with a collared shirt and let the collar detail peek through.
Of course, if you prefer a smaller neckline, feel free to adjust it as needed.

Also, since this project uses bulky yarn and larger needles, it can be finished very quickly!

Now, go ahead and enjoy your happy knitting time!
