This cardigan is worked flat from the neck to the armholes, then stitches are placed on hold for the sleeves while the body is worked flat to the bottom edge. When the body is complete, the sleeves are worked in the round to the cuff. Stitches are picked up for the optional pockets and pocket flaps.
NOTE: A tapestry needle may be helpful when seaming and securing all loose ends.
Care: Hand wash cold, lay flat to dry or tumble dry. Please test any washing/drying method on a small swatch to ensure you like the end result. Our cotton is un-mercerized and minimally processed to preserve the fiber’s natural softness and elasticity.
Yarn made in Italy, kit assembled in the USA.
