Rêverie is a comfortable and feminine cardigan between kimono and heartwrap, knitted seamlessly, top-down. You start knitting the yoke for the back then fronts are picked on the bottom from shoulders and formed with shorts rows. Then, the body (back and front) is worked flat together. You will finish with the sleeves also worked in round using magic-loop or DPN. A waistband is nice to mark the size and can wrap gently.
