Construction
The body of the cardigan is knit flat in one piece from the bottom to the armscye divisions. Back and fronts are knit flat separately from armscye division to the shoulder seam. The set-in sleeves are knit in the round from the cuff to shoulder on either two circular needles or double pointed needles. The front band is knit on after the shoulder seams are sewn.
