Construction
The back of the cardigan is stitched first. This is a simple rectangle shape. When the back is complete the front right hand panel and then the front left hand panel are stitched. At this point the front panels are seamed to the back panel, leaving an armhole for each arm. Now each sleeve is stitched directly onto the armholes. When the sleeves are complete, a single crochet ribbed edging is made along the bottom followed by a ribbed edge stitched up the left inside edge, around the neck and down the right hand edge.

Fit
The cardigan is meant to be very loose and long. The sleeves are made extra long so you can fold them up into a thick cuff. The front of the cardigan is left open.
