The vertical lines of this cardigan, and single-button closure, flatter a wide variety of figures. Waist shaping placed only on the back of the cardigan provides a curvaceous fit without being overly tight. The bottom bands are knit perpendicularly, and the main stitches are picked up to work the pieces.

You will need approximately 4 (5, 5, 5, 6, 6, 7, 7, 8, 8) hanks of Osprey.
