Lion Brand Notes:

Cardi is worked back and forth on a circular needle, in one piece, from the neck down.

Lace patterns are worked throughout Cardi.

Our design does not include buttons. If you like, you can sew large snap fasteners on Cardi front opening edges, or make buttonholes by working yo, k2tog or yo, p2tog on front band in desired location for buttonhole.
