Like piped frosting on a birthday cake, apply post stitches to the yoke of this cardigan for a fanciful decoration. Worked from the top down in one piece with no seams, it’s easy to adjust the fit as you go. Make it short sleeved as shown, or work long sleeves for a version that will take you through winter.
