You get a drawing as an overview of the process and each step and you also get a video tutorial of how to make the rib edges.
This cardigan took me only 3 days to make because of the big hook and chunky yarn.

This is a pattern for a chunky cropped cardigan made all in one (no separate panels that need to be put together).
I used 12 yarn balls at 50 g = 90 m (aran/worsted). 100% wool and a 10 mm hook. So if you are a L/XL maybe try using 13-14 yarn balls, or if you are XS/S use 10-11 yarn balls.
My tension: 10 cm = 7 rows x 8 stitches
