The cardigan body is worked in one piece, back and forth; the sleeves are worked in the round. The yoke is knit from stitches from the body and sleeves, and a steek allows knitting the Fair Isle yoke in the round. After the yoke has been knitted, the remaining armhole openings are closed by picking up stitches from the body sides and grafting them and underarm stitches to the sleeve stitches. The front edgings are knitted from stitches picked up from the side edges and easily could be changed to a button or zipper fastening if preferable. Neutral colors are suitable for a boy or girl.

Chart for yoke is available.
