NOTES
• For techniques you don’t know, pleasevisitouronlineknittingglossaryatwww.interweave.com/interweave-knitting-glossary.

• This cardigan is worked back and forth from the bottom up through the rib, then joined and worked in the round to the underarm with steeks at the center front and armhole openings. The sleeves are worked in the round from the top down.

• Steek stitches are not included in the stitch counts or the instructions unless otherwise indicated.

• Use your favorite steeking method to secure the front of the cardigan and armholes before cutting.

• The charts are worked using the stranded method. Always pick up the background color over the pattern color and pick up the pattern color from under the background color. Keep floats loose. For floats longer than four stitches, tack stranded yarn on wrong side of piece.
