Lion Brand Notes:

Back, Fronts, and Sleeves are worked from the lower edge upwards as separate pieces. These pieces are then seamed and stitches are picked up around the entire outer edge of the cardigan for the ribbed border. Short rows are worked across a portion of the border to create the shawl collar.

If desired, Back, Fronts, and Sleeves can be worked back and forth on circular needle, eliminating the need for straight needles.

Cardigan is knit with 2 strands of yarn held together throughout.
