Antonia/Antonio by Julie Weisenberger Ravelry Pattern
Antonia is really a blank slate; a jumping off point to show you how to work English Tailoring from the top down. Once you work the shoulder area you can do anything with your Antonia…add waist shaping, pockets, a stitch pattern, a completely different collar. You will see how working English Tailoring from the top-down eliminates all seams.
The cardigan is knitted top down beginning with Back. Sts are picked up and knit for Left and Right front pieces. Then sts are picked up along side edges of Fronts for Sleeves and all pieces are joined to work down in one piece.
