PATTERN NOTES
The cardigan is worked flat in rows from the bottom upwards. Sleeves are worked separately in the round to the underarms before joining with the body to work the yoke in one piece, gradually decreasing towards the neckline. Stitches are then picked up along the fronts for the button bands.
As with all hand-dyed yarns, we recommend you alternate skeins when knitting.
