PATTERN NOTES
This cardigan is knit flat in one piece from the top down. Stitches are cast on in both colors to start, with colors switching at the center back of the garment throughout. When changing from one color to the next, bring the old color up and around the new color to prevent any holes from forming in the piece. Sleeve stitches are set aside at the underarms and the body is worked separately. The sleeves are knit flat, from the underarm down, and sewn to the body. Finally, the sleeves are seamed along the bottom.
