CONSTRUCTION
This cardigan starts by making the necessary number of squares, follow­ing the Faux Granny Square Motif instructions. Then, the pieces are joined using C1 and Whip Stitch, sewing through the back loops only, to create the back and fronts. Next, stitches are picked up along the sides and knitted in English Rose Tweed Stitch to form the underarm panels. Stitches are then picked up around the armholes to knit the sleeves in the round and top-down. The cardigan is finished by picking up stitches for a ribbed hem and built-in button band, complete with buttonholes.
