Notes about this pattern:
This cardigan is comprised of 2 large Hexagons which are folded and seamed along the top of the arms to form the sleeves and then seamed down the center back.
The Hexagon shape will not lay flat as you work on it. That’s ok: it will lay flat when it is folded over to create the arm and side.
