A cardigan worked in two pieces beginning with the sleeve then working front and back body, working front and back neck shaping separately, and then joining two pieces together on the back.
Sc rows are worked in MC while cluster rows alternate between CC1 and CC2.
Always change color on the last YO of the last stitch in the old color, and cut the old color yarn.
The initial 3 ch of cluster rows is only counted as a stitch on increase rows; when working the Main Stitch Pattern, do not work into the 3 ch on the following row.
