Atami Cardigan

Job type	Test knit
Description	Atami is a drop shoulder cardigan with a round crew neck and a buttonband. Designed to be slightly oversized and super comfy. Sample is worn with 15" of positive ease and I recommend choosing a size with between 8-16" of ease, but feel free to choose a size you prefer. Worked from the bottom up as 1 piece, split into 3 panels at the underarm. Sleeves are picked up and knit down after the shoulders are joined. Finish by picking up and knitting the buttonbands and neckband.
