NOTES
—See the Glossary on page 78 for
terms you don’t know. Visit our master
glossary at http://bit.ly/iwc-glossary.

—Cardigan is worked widthwise as
a single flat rectangle then sewn
together.

—Piece is worked in a double-ended
Tunisian crochet stitch that requires
2 balls of yarn (A and B) and turning
your work.

—In the forward pass, the last loop is

picked up in the horizontal top bar

between the last two stitches.

— Tip: Since cardigan has a turned

over folded collar and can be worn

in two ways, attach new yarn when

needed with an invisible technique

such as Russian Join or Braided Join

to minimize weaving in ends in the

middle of the work.
