The Fiddlehead Cardigan is created using the Fiddlehead yarn from Purl Soho, which is a bulky weight boucle. The cardigan begins by working the top back part, then the left and right shoulders are knit separately. Then the work is joined and the body of the cardigan is knit flat in stockinette stitch. The sleeves are then knit with a slight taper and exaggerated cuff. Finally, the button band is knit in ribbing and buttons are sewn on to close the cardigan.
