How it is knitted

The back is worked in two shoulder pieces with shaped neckline, then joined on the needle.

The fronts are worked separately from the shoulder, with increases for the neckline and armhole.

The pieces are joined for the body, which is worked flat following Chart A.

The sleeves are picked up around the armhole and worked in the round following Chart B, with short rows at the top.

The button bands and neckline are worked last.

Fit

A relaxed cardigan with 10–20 cm [4–8 in] recommended positive ease at the bust, sized to match the Mistlight Sweater so the two fit the same way.
