Notes
The pattern is written in US Standard Terms
Ch 1 at the beginning of the row counts as a st
The pattern is worked from the bottom up in three separate pieces, back and 2 similar front panels
The front panels are constructed with an opening for the pockets, so if you do not want pockets, skip the opening part.
Add or reduce rows for either a longer or shorter cardigan
The cardigan is made in 9 different sizes from XS to 5X.
You can work the ribbing as wide as possible by making more rows of sc.
You can also make the ribbing with or without buttons. See the directions below if you want to include buttons on your cardigan
