Shown on Kate in the first size. **Pattern notes** This cardigan is worked from the top down, casting on a few stitches, placing twisted stitch panels for sleeves, back, and fronts, and increasing in pattern to shape the neckline. Stitches are then cast on for each front, and integrated into the pattern panels, before shaping the sleeves and upper body with raglan increases. Sleeve caps are divided and set aside, then the body is worked to the desired length. Sleeves are picked up and worked top-down, before front bands and neck edging are worked. I-cord buttonholes complete the cardigan. Where one number is given, it applies to all sizes. [1]: https://www.shopkdd.com/davaar [2]: https://kddandco.com
