CONSTRUCTION
This cardigan is worked top down and in one piece. The body is started at the back neck. Once the upper back is worked flat, the back stitches are placed on hold while stitches for the fronts are picked up along the cast-on edge. Once the fronts are completed, the panels are joined and the body is worked flat to the hem, finished with a rib. Stitches are picked up around the armholes for the sleeves which are worked in the round and finished with rib. The button bands are worked along the fronts, and finally, the neckband is worked. The shoulder seam sits behind the shoulder.
