Lilly Cardigan is an oversize cardigan, with short sleeves and wide hems. The cardigan has a heightened neck and is worked back and forth on circular needles. After the sleeves, the piece is divided into the front and back piece, which are worked individually. Sleeves are worked on circular needles, and then the button band is worked. Buttons are sewn onto the button band at the end. The pattern includes instructions in regular button holes as well.
