PATTERN NOTES
This cardigan is knit flat in pieces from the bottom up and uses intarsia. When changing to a new color, bring the old color up and around the new color to prevent any holes from forming in the piece. Use a separate ball of yarn for each section. Please note that there are not written instructions for the intarsia chart.

Slant is available as part of e-book Chroma, and as an individual pattern through Ravelry.
