From the pattern intro:
This very oversized, minimally-shaped,
no-sew cardigan/wrap is designed to work on a wide range of body sizes and
shapes. The stitch, Barbara Walker’s “Banded Insertion” pattern, has garter stitch
ridges and stocking stitch valleys worked on two differently-sized needles,
three sizes apart. The result is a light, airy, drapey fabric that works up
fairly quickly.
The body is cast on provisionally at the
centre back, then worked outwards until the sides are joined by 3-needle bind-off.
The sleeve stitches are transferred to a small circular needle and worked out
to the cuff, with the ridges
gradually spaced at longer and longer intervals. Finally, the centre back is joined,
and an I-cord border worked all the way around, with graceful scallops framing
the neckline.
