Start crocheting

This cardigan is worked from Cuff to Sleeve

to Body, joined along the centre back,

and then the hem and neckline trim are

worked at the end. The Sleeves are worked

continuously in the round, while the Cuff,

Body and trims are worked flat. Unless

otherwise stated, turning chains do not

count as a stitch.

Check your Sleeve length before beginning

the body – it should reach your underarm.

Check the Body fit after joining the two

panels together but before working the

hem trim – you won’t be able to add

or remove rows to adjust the fit after

this point!
