Construction Notes
Cardigan is knitted flat from the top down. Beginning at the yoke with a provisional cast on, the yoke is shaped with raglan increases. Lower body is knitted flat, back and forth with shaping to the back; sleeves are worked in the round. Please note, slim fit sleeves are designed to help with cardigan fit and position whilst being worn.
The collar is picked up from the provisional cast on and worked back and forth.
Circular needles are recommended due to the top down construction and large numbers of stitches on the needles at once. You may choose to use standard needles.
Slip all stitch markers as they are encountered.
