PATTERN NOTES
This cardigan is constructed of 52 individual squares that are knit on the bias. After sewing the squares together as shown in the schematic, stitches are picked up for the hem, the front edging, and the sleeves. In this pattern, we recommend weaving in your ends as you go to save time.

This cardigan is intended to be worn with a generous amount of positive ease. Due to the open nature of the cardigan at the bust, finished measurements are given based on back width at the bust (measured from center of underarm to center of underarm). It is recommended to choose a size approximately 9-12 inches larger than your actual back bust width. Further measurements for each size can be found on the schematic.
