A patchwork-style cardigan knitted with only two colors. The pattern is a little complicated, but it's cute with the little squirrels hiding inside. The hem and placket are finished with a slim eye cord, making this an elegant piece that can be worn like a jacket.
Knit in the round while inserting the stitches that will be cut later for the placket, armholes, and neckline. Cut open the armhole stitches, pick up the rest stitches and stitches of the stitches, and knit the sleeves. Cut open the neckline and placket stitches, pick up the stitches, and finish with I-Cord Bind Off. Finally, finish the stitches.
