The body of this cardigan is knit flat in one piece from the bottom up. The back panel is worked first. Without casting off, the first front panel is worked. The second front panel is knit after casting off the first panel and reconnecting working yarn. Stitches for the sleeves are picked up from the outer edge of the
garment and worked in the round. Stitches for the neckband are picked up from the inner edge of the garment and worked flat.
Add fringe to cardigan body and sleeves.
