Knit Chunky Cardigan KAL - Week 3

Week 3 - Sleeves

If you're just chiming in now, check out the first and last week's post! We worked on the gauge swatch, casting on, and knitted the collared yoke. Then we separated the sleeves from body of the cardigan & knitted the remaining portion of the body.
