PATTERN NOTES:
• I recommend swatching for the cable pattern and if you notice that it is tighter than the stockinette stitch, please use larger needles for working the cable section of your cardigan.
• The cardigan is worked in one piece top down. You start with neck band/ribbing, then work neck shaping with short rows and then continue working flat. After the round yoke, you separate the sleeves and the body and continue working them separately.

SKILLS REQUIRED:
• basics (cast on/bind off, knit/purl, increase/decrease)
• short rows
• working in the round
• working from a chart
