This cotton cardigan will provide just enough weight to keep the chill off in the air conditioning or on a crisp evening. It is worked from the top down. The back and fronts are worked separately to the underarm, then joined and worked in one piece to the lower edge. Sleeves are picked up around the armhole and worked in the round down to the cuff.
