Pattern Notes
The main body is worked in the round from the bottom up with a steek at centre front up to the armhole divide. Sleeves are then knitted in the round from the bottom up and then joined to the body at the underarm and the garment is then knitted in one piece, until the neckline, at which point it is then divided. The front of the cardigan is then knitted a little longer than the back in order for the pattern to wrap over the shoulder, where it is then grafted to the back stitches. The sleeves are gathered at the top, then sewn into the shoulder rows. Full length charts are provided for each size with accompanying steek charts. The sample shown in the photographs is the second size, worn with zero ease. It is suggested you choose a size with 3.5-9.5cm (1.5-3.25in) of positive ease.
