NOTES

• The body of this cardigan is worked back and forth in one piece to the underarm, then the fronts and back are worked separately. The front and back shoulder stitches are kept live and joined to the saddle as it is worked. After the saddle is complete, the sleeve is worked in the round from the top down.
• A circular needle is used to accommodate the large number of stitches.
