NOTES
The cardigan is worked from the bottom up. The body is worked flat in one piece up to the armholes, after which the stitches are separeted into left front, right front and back. Each piece is then worked to desired length (suggested lengths given in the pattern), and the shoulders are joined with a 3-needle bind-off. Finally, stitches for the sleeves are picked from the armholes and knitted in the round to the cuffs.

The extra-long sleeves, featuring a generous folded ribbed cuff, have a snug fit. However, it is easy to adjust their ease and length. Just try the cardigan on as you work.
