This cardigan is almost seamless, you will have to make only shoulders seams. The rest of the cardigan is worked as one piece. The fit is really great, its quite fitted around the chest, but flares down from the waist. It is worked top down - my favorite way to make cardigans, as you can see at once if it is going to fit or if you need to change something. I hope you will enjoy making it as much as I did!
For this cardigan I combined two different yarns - solid color sport weight yarn with hand dyed Fingering weight yarn. However, you can entirely make it using sport weight yarn only if you like.
