CONSTRUCTION

Fog Cardigan is a top-down seamless cardigan with the neckband knit simultaneously with the main body of the garment.
You will start with knitting the back of the neckband, then pick up the stitches around it and start the main body.
The yoke is shaped as a compound raglan, which creates a natural line that runs from the neck to the base of the armhole. Yoke instructions are written step-by-step for each size individually.
Stitches for the sleeves are placed on hold at the end of the yoke, then the main body is continued to the hem.
The main body is “framed” with i-cord that is knit simultaneously with the main body and then meets with the i-cord bind off at the hem.
Then sleeve stitches are picked up and worked top down in the round, finishing with a high sleeve cuff.
