Cardigan body is worked flat in three separate pieces. After seaming the sides and shoulders, stitches are picked up around the armholes and each sleeve is worked in the round down to the cuff with a section of colorwork. Stitches are picked along the fronts and back neck to work the button bands before buttons are attached. The shoulder seams are designed to come slightly forward when worn.
Each yarn pack contains the amount of yarn needed to complete the project in the selected size.
