Overview
This cardigan is worked top down. The saddle shoulders are worked back and forth with a cabled pattern. Stitches are then picked up along the edges of the saddle shoulder. The whole piece is then worked back and forth. Stitches are increased first for the sleeves and then for the body and the sleeves. The sleeves and the body are then split. The body is worked back and forth and tubular cast off is worked on the bottom. The sleeves are worked in the round, continuing the cable pattern from the saddle shoulder down the rest of the sleeve. The sleeves are then bound off using tubular bind off. Stitches are then picked up for the neckband. The neckband is worked in 2x2 rib and bound off using tubular bind off.
