It's been a year since I've created one of my signature cardigans for knitbot. I hope this one was worth waiting for!
June's Favorite Cardigan is worked seamlessly from the bottom up, just like Schoodic and Walpole. I've added a new video to my tutorials section demonstrating how to connect the body and sleeves before working the yoke. Hopefully this is helpful if you are new to knitting this type of construction.
I love this design. It's an open front raglan. It's white. And it's inspired by my grandmother's favorite cardigan. I do hope some of you fall in love with it, too!

I don't know about you, but I am a little obsessed with tote bags. Ask my husband. Our entry way runneth over with them. That doesn't keep me from adding to the collection!
