Construction: (From Ravelry) This cardigan is worked in the round from the top down to the armholes, then sleeves and body are divided and worked separately in the round to bottom edge. The colorwork is charted; most rounds are worked with two colors, while a few rounds are worked with three. A steek is used to create the center front opening. Short rows shape the lower back yoke for a well-fitting neckline. Body hem and sleeve cuffs feature a bit of colorwork and are finished in 1 x 1 rib. After cutting open the center front steek, stitches are picked up to work the button band in 1 x 1 rib. Body and sleeve lengths can be adjusted (note that adjustments in length will affect total yardage required).
