Pattern Notes:
This cardigan is knit flat in pieces from the top down and seamed. The ribbed collar and border is picked up and knit after seaming. The pockets are made by binding off in the middle of row and casting on in the next row, and then sewing a separate lining piece to the inside. The pockets are finished with a crochet slip-stitch border around the opening.
