PATTERN
The cardigan is worked from the top down. In first step the top part of the back yoke is worked, then the top of fronts, and then stitches are picked up and knitted along the sides of the shoulders. From this point, the sleeves, back and fronts are worked together until the under arm. The sleeves are worked in the round on a circular needle using the Magic Loop technique.
At the end a long collar is worked from stitches that are picked up and knitted along the neck edge. The cardigan then is finished with I-cord edge. (For detailed instructions see video at Hunglish Knitter YouTube channel.) https://www.youtube.com/@hunglishknitter
