The Textured Top Down Cardigan is worked in one piece from the top down. The fronts and back are worked in Moss st to below the bust line. The sleeves and the lower fronts and back are all worked in Stockinette st. The hems and center band are all worked in Garter st. This is a free pattern!

Note on Moss Stitch
When you increase in Moss stitch you have to read your knitting and use the established pattern and build off of it.

When you are on the RS rows you will purl the knits and knit the purls. When you are on the WS rows you knit the knits and purl the purls.
