Until Forever Cardigan

Description

The body, including the pocket facings, is knit flat in one piece from the bottom up to the armholes. The right front, back, and left front are knit flat and seamed at the shoulders. Stitches are picked up around (1) each armhole to work the sleeves in the round down to the cuff and (2) the neckline to work the ribbed shawl collar and buttonband flat.

Choose a size with approx 5-6 of positive ease in the chest.
