The cardigan is knitted in stocking stitch, side to side in one piece. Long and short set-in sleeves are included in the pattern.The main piece is bordered with Irish moss stitch, which is also used for the cuffs.

The main feature of the cardigan is its waterfall front, which is particularly effective when the recommended yarn is used, as it has colour changes which result in striking stripes. Be careful to try and make the stripes match at the beginning and end of the main piece, and on the sleeves,

In view of the size and weight of the main piece, the use of circular needles (back and forth) make the knitting easier to manage.
