The Langø Cardigan is worked from the top down with a ”European shoulder”. First you cast on stitches for back of the neck and shoulder, then work back and forth with increases at either side until the full width is reached. Continue straight down until the armhole has appropriate measurement. Then pick up and knit stitches for one front and then the other, after which the sections are joined. Continue working back and forth across the body stitches. When the body is finished, pick up and knit stitches around the armholes; the sleeves are worked from the top down. Finally, pick up and knit stitches for neckband and front button- and buttonhole bands.
