This wrapped cardigan is very easy and quick to knit in top-down construction, and the kimono shape is ideal for gentle on-and-off. A touch of color on the I-cord border keeps it light and bright!
The cardigan is worked from the top down to the underarms, the sleeves are left on hold while the lower body is worked flat. The sleeves are then worked in the round to minimize seaming. The I-cord border is worked at the end by picking up sts all around.
