WOMEN’S GARMENT

This cardigan is worked flat from

the bottom up in five pieces.

The back and fronts are worked

in St st. The sleeves feature a

simple cable pattern that can be

worked from the chart or written

instructions. Note that due to the

tension differences between the

St st and the cable pattern, the

sleeve raglan shaping is different

than the body raglan. Once the

pieces are complete, all held

sts are worked together for the

ribbed neckband. Front bands are

picked up and worked to finish.
