Monteiro cardigan is worked seamlessly from the top-down.
Sleeve sts are placed on hold, to continue with body only. After the body is completed, sts are picked up at fronts and neck, and ribbing will be worked in the round with increases to adjust the rounded corners. Sleeve sts will be picked up again after body and ribbing is completed, and worked top-down in the round.

I recommed choosing a size with 1-3” (2.5 - 7.5 cm) positive ease to get a comfortable fit.
