NOTES

• This cardigan is worked back and forth in one piece to the underarm, and then the fronts and back are worked separately. The sleeves and hood are worked back and forth from the bottom up.
• A circular needle is used to accommodate the large number of stitches.
• During shaping, if there are not enough stitches to work a decrease together with its companion yarnover, work the remaining stitch in reverse stockinette.
• The lace rib pattern will not match at the shoulder seams for all sizes.
