This long, swingy, lacey cardigan is knit top down and seamlessly. Light-weight yarn is knit at a loose gauge to keep the garment light and airy. The lace begins with just a few stitches on each front and increases on both sides to make angled fronts and to wrap around to the back.

XS, (S, M1, M2, M3), {L, XL, XXL, XXXL}
Bust* 33.2, (35.6, 38.8, 42, 45.2), {48.4, 52.4, 56.4, 60.4}
Yardage 1125, (1280, 1445, 1475, 1545), {1630, 1855, 1955, 2295}

To choose a size, measure across your back between the centers of each underarm and double it. If you are between sizes, choose the next size up..
Materials
Fingering, heavy fingering, or sport-weight yarn
US 7/4.5mm needles or size needed to obtain gauge. The body is knit flat, but you will have a lot of stitches on the needles so a fairly long circular needle will work best. You will also need needles for your preferred method of working small circumferences for the sleeves
US 5/3.75 mm needles or needles 2 sizes smaller than gauge needles for working garter neck edge and sleeve edge
Stitch markers
Tapestry needle for weaving in ends
Notes
The lace meets in the back at different points for sizes up through M3. It does not join in the back for larger sizes.
Body length varies because of needing to end with a full repeat of the lace pattern.
Shown in size M1 in Blacker Yarns Swan 4-ply in Dolphin.
