Lion Brand Notes:

Circular needle is used to accommodate large number of stitches. Work back and forth on circular needle as if working on straight needles.

Cardigan is worked in one piece from the neck edge down to the underarms. The piece is then divided, and sleeves and body are worked separately from the underarm down to the lower edge.
