CONSTRUCTION OF THE DESIGN The cardigan is worked flat top down. You begin by working from the back neck, using Stockinette Stitch and Garter Stitch, and shape the shoulders using European shoulder construction. After the shoulder shaping, you continue working toward the underarm, incorporating increases to shape the armholes. Next, the live stitches of the back panel are placed on hold and you begin working on the front panels while shaping the V-neckline. Once the neckline shaping is complete, you continue working the front panels in Stockinette Stitch towards the underarm, including increases for armhole shaping. The front and back panels are then joined using additional cast-on stitches at the underarm. The body is worked flat, continuing in the Stockinette Stitch and Garter Stitch texture. After completing the main body, you finish with twisted ribbing for the hem. Next, you will pick up stitches for the sleeves on the armhole and work in the round. Once the desired length for the sleeve has been reached, you finish with twisted ribbing for the cuffs. Lastly, you will work the button band in double knit.
