This pattern is worked from the bottom up; the body is worked flat, the sleeves are worked separately in the round.

This cardigan works well on many body shapes with different amounts of ease (thanks to the ribbing). Another bonus is the the gorgeous detailing that goes all the way around the yoke and calls attention upward toward the face.
