OK friends, this is it-- the cardigan you will want to live in all fall and winter! It has an incredibly high coze-factor (something scientists are just starting to recognize and attempt to measure, but which knitters have known about since time began) and is gloriously relaxing to knit. 

Some pattern highlights:
-Seamless, top-down, raglan construction
-Open front (no pesky buttonholes)
-Pockets (big enough to hold your treasures and still have room for a phone, pretty leaves, and a snack)

And of course the Teapot pattern is size-inclusive, with 10 sizes to fit chest circumferences between 28-66”/ 70-165cm. 

The cardigan is cast on at the back neck and worked flat to the hem. Sleeves are worked in the round from the underarm to hem, and if you choose to add pockets to your Teapot they are worked flat and sewn on to the finished piece.

This sweater is meant to have a generous, cozy fit so choose a size with a finished chest measurement that is 4-6”/ 10-15cm larger than the widest part of your chest or hips, whichever is larger.

Sizes: 1 (2, 3, 4)(5, 6, 7)(8, 9, 10)

Finished bust measurement: 34 (38, 42, 46)(50, 54, 58)(62, 66, 70)” / 86.5 (96.5, 107, 117)(127, 137, 147.5)(157.5, 168, 178) cm at the bust.

Yarn: Knit Picks Swish Bulky, or other bulky weight yarn, approx. 750 (875, 975, 1100)(1200, 1300, 1420)(1550, 1650, 1750) yards / 690 (800, 895, 1000)(1100, 1200, 1300)(1420, 1510, 1600) meters.
