The Shell Stitch Cardigan is worked in body piece and two sleeves. All worked flat in rows. These are then seamed together to make the cardigan and a neckline ribbing is added to the body. The sample has 3/4 sleeves but you can adjust the length as you wish.

The cardigan in the pictures is a sample cardigan made in size S (with 2” (5 cm) positive ease).
