Short Description: Franca is a comfy-casual cardigan with a perfectly slouchy shape. Everything is knitted as you go, including the front band and the freehanging, kangaroo-style pockets, which means after inding off, you just have a couple gaps to close before blocking and curling up in it.
Gauge: 16 sts and 24 rows = 4" / 10cm square in St st on largest needles
NOTE: Cardigan will stretch due to its weight so you might want to err on the side of a tighter gauge if in-between.
