Pattern Notes
• Cardigan is worked seamlessly from the top down, with raglan seams. Once yoke is finished, the remainder of the body is worked, and then the sleeves are picked up and worked down to the cuff. Finally, the reversible cabled border is picked up and worked around the entire body and grafted closed.
