NOTES
Sleeve instructions are written for DPNs. However, an alternate method of working small circumferences, such as Magic-Loop Method or short circular needles, can be used for the larger sizes. As the yoke increases, change to longer circular needles when necessary.

INSTRUCTIONS
This cardigan is worked from the top down with a circular yoke. A small section of short rows is worked at the back of the neck and above the hem for a more comfortable fit. The collar is crocheted separately and attached to the neck by picking up 1 st from neck edge and 1 st from collar and knitting the 2 sts together while easing the collar along the neck edge as you work.
