Iza Cardigan

Overview The cardigan is worked bottom up. Once the body reaches the correct length the left front, right front, and the back are worked separately. The shoulders are then connected with a 3 needle bind off. The sleeves are then picked up and worked in the round. They are then finished off with a tubular bind off. Lastly, the neckband is picked up and finished off with a tubular bind-off. My sample is knit in a cotton merino blend making it perfect for the summer but it would work just as well knit up in wool for chillier weather.
