Signora Manmi Cardigan is worked flat from top down with drop shoulder sleeves.
The upper back is worked first, shaped with short rows then worked to the underarms and placed on hold. Stitches for the shoulders are picked up along the cast on edge and the stitches for the neckband are cast on at the center back of the neck and joined to the front. The right front is worked to the underarm with the neckband. The stitches are then placed on hold while the left front is worked. Underarms onwards, all the stitches are worked in one piece. When the body is completed, the sleeves are picked up along the armhole opening, then worked in the round to the cuff. The cardigan is designed to have approx. 10”/25cm of positive ease.
