Special Stitches

reverse sc (reverse single crochet) = Work
single crochet in opposite direction from
which you would usually work (left to right if
you are right-handed, and right to left if you
are left-handed). This stitch is also known
as crab stitch. It creates a rope-like twisted
single crochet edging.

sc2tog (single crochet 2 stitches together) =
Insert hook in next stitch, yarn over and pull
up a loop
twice, yarn over and draw through
all 3 loops on hook.

Notes

  1. Cardigan is made from five pieces: Back, Left Front, Right Front, and two Sleeves. Each piece is worked from the lower edge upwards in the Openwork pattern.

  2. Throughout, each dc and sc counts as one stitch and each ch-2 space counts as 2 stitches.

  3. For seaming, remove the ply of yarn that has sequins from the rest and sew the seams without the sequined ply
