This cardigan is worked in 2 pieces. Begin by knitting 2 hexagons, from the center outwards and in the round. The beginning of the hexagons is worked using the magic loop method, but you can use 5 double-pointed needles if you prefer. Then, join the 2 hexagons by grafting the marked areas to form the body of the cardigan. The remaining length of the sleeves is worked in the round, from the end of one side of the hexagon down to the cuff. Finally, knit the waistband and the front bands from the stitches held on the sides of the hexagons.
