This cardigan is knit flat from the top down with no seams. The arm stitches are placed on hold while the body is finished and then knit down in the round using DPNs or Magic Loop. The collar band is then picked up and shaped with short rows. The belt and belt loops are knit separately and the belt loops are sewn on

Due to the nature of the airy, woolen spun yarn used in this pattern, I noticed that testers using a worsted spun yarn ended up needing more yardage. If you choose to substitute a worsted spun yarn, you may need more yarn to finish your sweater. I recommend purchasing at least 1 extra skein.
