This cardigan is worked back and forth in one piece to the underarms, following the tonnach chart. Fronts and back are shaped separately, then joined at the shoulders, before the sleeves are picked up around the armscye and worked downwards, in the round. After working a ribbed neckband, the front edges are picked up, and finished with i-cord buttonholes / buttonbands.
