Gloam by Boyland Knitworks.
Gloam is a boxy, versatile cardigan featuring easy knit and purl texture. Knit in pieces, this cardi is a fun and relaxing knit. Easily customize yours by adjusting the length, working stripes or a fade, or color-blocking! This sweater is knit flat from the top down in pieces and seamed at the shoulders and sides. The sleeves are then picked up and worked in the round. Finally, the front band is picked up and worked. Circular needles are recommended to accommodate the large stitch count and are needed for the sleeves.
