Hera
Description
This cardigan is worked seamlessly from the top down. First the back neck is cast on, and stitches are increased on each side to form back shoulders. Front shoulders are picked up from back and worked top down. Sleeves are picked up from the shoulder sides and the yoke is worked in one piece with contiguous set-in sleeves. After cardigan is complete, work Swiss Darning (Duplicate Stitch) to both fronts and right back shoulder using charts.
