This cardigan is worked seamlessly from the top down.

First the back panel is worked from the neck to the underarm. Then the right and left front panels are worked seperately, by picking up stitches from each shoulders. These three panels are joined at the underarm, and the body is worked back and forth. The sleeves are worked in the round from the armholes, and the button band is worked from the end of the right front edge, the cardigan is completed at the end.

The first time I saw the Milky Way, the indescribably beautiful moment inspired me to make the main pattern of this cardigan.

I hope you imagine a night sky where stars flow like a river, creating a calm cable pattern. Have great days with knitting~!
