PATTERN NOTES
This wrap cardigan is worked flat in pieces from the bottom up and seamed. A Crochet Provisional Cast-on is used, which is unpicked after seaming to create an I-cord edging. The fronts feature a sloped bind-off. I-Cord ties are attached to the inside of the piece for an extra secure fit. The sleeves are knit flat from the top down and seamed to the body.
