Little yan cardigan by Eri Shimizu starts from the middle back and is worked down to the underarm. Then, stitches are picked up along the cast-on edge of the back for each front, and they are separately worked up toward the shoulders, then down to the underarm. Then, the front and back are joined and worked flat down to the hem in one piece. Sleeves stitches are picked up around the arm opening and worked in the round to the cuff. Although they look similar at first glance, the star stitch patterns on the sleeves and body are slightly different.
Please Note: the pattern will be published on Ravelry on January 31!
