This is the perfect cardigan for chilly fall days, whether you’re running errands or taking long walks to enjoy the colors. Simply constructed, this cardigan also includes set-in pockets to keep hands warm.
The body is worked in one piece from the bottom up, adding the pockets as you knit, then divided to work the fronts and back separately. The sleeves are worked in the round from the cuff up, then the cap is worked back and forth when beginning to shape the armhole. One-row buttonholes are used to make the buttonholes on the front and neckbands.
