CONSTRUCTION

• This cardigan is worked in one piece from the hem to the underarm. The fronts and back are divided and worked separately to just below the shoulder, then short rows are used to transform the cables from the front edge and the center back into a shoulder saddle, which is then joined to the remaining shoulder stitches as it is worked. Stitches are then picked up along each armhole edge and the sleeve is worked flat from the top down, with short rows to shape the sleeve cap. The button band is picked up and worked after garment assembly. The pockets are worked separately and sewn on.
