This little cute cardigan is a throw-over garment that you can perfectly wear over any dress or T-shirt. It is supposed to fit more tightly around the arms and have a more comfortable fit around the body.

The construction starts with a provisional cast on at the center of the upper body that is worked sideways and directly flows into the sleeves. Stitches are then picked up to work the other side of the upper body. Once the upper body and sleeves are finished, stitches for the lower body are picked up and the stranded knitting part is worked flat and in rows.
