Full size chart and garment measurements below.

This cardigan is worked flat from the neck to the armholes, then stitches are placed on hold for the sleeves while the body is worked flat to the bottom edge. When the body is complete, the sleeves are worked in the round to the cuff. Stitches are picked up for the optional pockets and pocket flaps. 

Sizes:  XS - 2X/3X

• US 13 (9 mm) 32" (80 cm) circular needles

Note: You can make this entire garment using 32’’ long needles.  However, you will need to use magic loop method for the sleeves as this length is too long.  To avoid magic loop you can use shorter 16’’ needles.
