8 sts + 14 rows = about 4 in. (10 cm) in Stockinette st.

Cardigan is worked sideways in one piece, beg at one sleeve edge.
A circular needle is used to accommodate the width of the fabric. Work back and forth in rows on circular needle as if working with straight needles.
Cardigan is worked in Garter st (k every row) and St st (k on RS, p on WS).
The gauge difference between St st and Garter st gives a slight A-line shape to the Cardigan.
