Notes

  • The cardigan is worked in one piece from the bottom up to underarms; then fronts and back are worked separately.
  • Stitches for sleeves are picked up along the armholes and sleeves are worked in the round from the top down.
  • When working in rows, read RS (odd-numbered) chart rows from right to left; read WS (even-numbered) chart rows from left to right. When working in the round, read all chart rows from right to left. During shaping, if there are not enough stitches to work a charted pattern, work the stitches of the partial cable in stockinette stitch. Make sure that every decrease has a corresponding increase.
  • The “right” or “left” directions always refer to wearer’s right or left, rather than the piece in relation to you when knitting.
