Lion Brand Notes:

Cardigan body is worked in one piece to armholes, then divided for back and fronts.

Two color pattern is worked in stranded colorwork. Carry unused color across WS of work.

Front bands are worked in one with the fronts.

Collar and sleeves are worked separately.

Sleeves on sample were worked from top down. So that the direction of the stitches will match the Cardigan body, the pattern provides instructions for working the sleeves from lower edge up.
