Notes
This cardigan is worked from the top down with short row shaping to lower the front neck. When the yoke has been completed, the sleeves are divided from the body and the back and fronts are worked separately to the bottom edge. Stitches are then picked up along the back and front sides for the mitered side panels.

The body is worked back and forth in rows; a circular needle is used to accommodate the number of stitches.

The sleeves are worked in the round.
