Pattern Notes
This pattern is worked sideways from cuff to cuff. The fronts are worked from the cuff to the curved center edge. After the top sleeve, underarm, and side seams are sewn, a garter edging is worked all around the outside of the cardigan.

A circular needle is used for the back and fronts to accommodate the large number of stitches. Do not join; work back and forth in rows.

The first and last stitch of every row is knit to create a garter selvage for easier seaming.
