Description

Reluctant Homeschooler is a chunky, cozy cardigan knit from the bottom up. You begin by knitting the sleeves in the round, then work the body flat from the bottom up, followed by joining the sleeves and working raglan and shaping details. Lastly you will pick up and knit the front band, make and attach patch pockets and buttons.

This design is intended to be worn with 8-12” 20.5-30.5 cm of positive ease, depending on your personal preference. The sample pictured is a size 3, worn with 11” 28 cm of positive ease. You will find full fit details in the included schematic.
