The Woody Cardigan is a boxy fit, drop shoulder cardigan. This cardigan features a combination of 2x2 ribbing and horizontal ribbing. The shoulders are shaped by beginning at the back of the neck and increasing to the full width. Then worked back and forth to shape the back of the armholes. The front chest panels are picked up from each shoulder and worked individually until the neckline is shaped & armhole depth is reached and then joined with the back. The length is worked back & forth until the hem. The hem, buttonbands & the neckline are then worked in 1x1 twisted ribbing. Sleeves are picked up to work in pattern with gradual decreases until cuffs.
