The cardigan is knitted top down using the contiguous method of shaping set-in sleeves developed by Suzie M. The top of the cardigan is an alternation of stockinette stitch and slipped stitch with both colors. When the separation of the body and sleeves is done, you will knit in main color and slipped stitch. The lower body contains some stripes and ends with ribs. The sleeves are knitted in the round at the end, in stockinette stitch with some stripes before the ribs.
