NOTES
• For techniques you don’t know, please visit our online knitting glossary at www.interweave.com/interweave-knitting-glossary.
• The body of this cardigan is worked in pieces from the bottom up. The shoulders are shaped with short rows and shoulder seams are joined using a Three-needle Bind-off. The sleeves are worked in the round from the cuff up, with the sleeve caps worked back and forth and sewn into the armholes.
• Maintain pattern as much as possible when working neck shaping on both front and back, and while working short rows. If there are not enough stitches to work a yarnover and its corresponding decrease, work leftover stitches in stockinette stitch. If only one yarnover can be worked with an sk2p, work the decrease as an ssk.
