This textured cardigan is worked flat and from the bottom up. Twisted stitches play a part throughout the body of the sweater and on the cuffs of the sleeves. The shoulders are joined using the 3-needle bind off. Stitches are picked up around the armholes to work the sleeves in the round. Finally, stitches are picked up around the fronts of the sweater to make a button band.
Sample shown here is Size 1 with a finished chest measurement of 36.5” (92.75 cm) modeled on a 34” (86.25 cm) chest size.
