I made this striped cardigan from a Lincraft pattern book that I bought cheaply because Lincraft was shutting down in civic. I also got all the yarn really cheap as well.
It was knitted back and forth on circular knitting needles, including the arms which eventually get put onto holders to be done later. Then you're meant to knit the sleeves flat and then sew up the edges. Because of my extreme hatred/laziness of sewing, I knitted the arms in the round so I didn't have to do any sewing. And the front band was meant to be knitted separately and then sewn on but, once again, I didn't do that. I knitted the band straight on, knitting every second stitch of the band to every second stitch on the side of the cardigan. Thus, I didn't have to do any sewing except for sewing the buttons on! Score!
I wish I'd made it longer though.
