PATTERN NOTES
The cardigan is worked flat from sleeve to sleeve using a color-shifting yarn that makes the stripe effect effortless.

Cast on for the first sleeve. Once the sleeve is complete, cast on additional stitches for the front and back. Work across all stitches until the first front piece is complete.

Bind off stitches to shape the neck opening. Complete the back, leaving the neck opening unworked, then cast on stitches for the other front piece. Work front and back. Bind off stitches for front and back, leaving stitches for the second sleeve. Complete second sleeve. Bind off sleeve stitches loosely.

Block the piece. Work hem ribbing. Seam sides using your preferred method. Pickup and knit collar. Bind off stitches loosely.
