Construction Notes
This cardigan is knit in pieces from bottom up and seamed. The lower edge is cast on with a provisional cast on and knit together with the body to produce a turned hem. The angled fronts overlap by approximately 3” and feature full fashioned shoulders. The 3/4 length, set-in sleeves also feature a tuned hem. There are small-integrated pockets on the front.
