This Cardigan is worked in 3 pieces (Back with 2 Back Sleeves, Right Front with Right Front Sleeve, Left Front with left Front Sleeve). Each piece is worked flat from the bottom up. The 3 pieces are then seamed together at the shoulders, Sleeves, and sides. The Neckband, Cuffs and lower edge are crocheted directly onto the Cardigan after seaming. Colors are changed every other row. Finish the last pull through of the last stitch of the row with the new color. Cut contrast colors after working 2 rows but do not cut the main color, instead carry the unused main color up the side of work.
