PATTERN NOTES
This cardigan is knit in pieces from the bottom up, starting with the back. Stitches are bound off for the armhole and neck shaping occurs at the top of the back piece. The front pieces are knit separately, incorporating shaping to create a v-neck. The sleeves are knit flat from the bottom up. Stitches are picked up for the button band after seaming.
ERRATA

There was an error in the stitch guide that said to "Repeat Rows 1-16", but it should have said "Repeat Rows 1-14". This has been corrected and updated in the pattern.
