Note
This cardigan is worked flat and in pieces from the bottom up. The back, right front and left front are worked separately. They are joined at the shoulders using the Three Needle Bind Off method. The sleeves are also worked flat and then grafted to the body. Then, the remaining side and underarm seams are sewn together. The collar and button bands are picked up and worked in 1x1 ribbing. The cardigan is then finished off by adding buttons.
The button holes are made on the left side of this cardigan. Generally the side is used for boy’s (mens) garments and the right side for girl’s (women’s) garments. However, you can choose either side depending on your preference. If changing the side of the button holes, reverse the button hole row because the buttons are not spaced the same distance at the top and bottom on the cardigan.

Notes
このカーディガンは, 往復編みで下から上に向かってパーツごとに編んでいく. 身頃の後ろ・右前・左前はそれぞれ別々に編み, 肩で引き抜きはぎする. 袖も同様に往復編みで編んだ後, 身頃にメリヤスはぎでつなぐ. その後, 残りの脇と袖下のすくいとじする. 襟と前立ては目を拾い, 1目ゴム編みで編む. 最後にボタンを付けて完成させる.
ボタンホールはこのカーディガンでは左側に配置されている. 一般的に男性(男の子)用は左側, 女性(女の子)用は右側が使われるが, 好みに合わせてどちら側に作っても構わない. ボタンホールの左右を変更する場合, カーディガンの上下でボタンホールの位置が均等に配置されているわけではないため, ボタンホール段を逆向きに編む必要がある.
脇下からの着丈や袖丈は長さを調整できるが, 変更する分だけ必要な糸量が変わるので注意する.
