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.
