NOTES

Cardigan is worked flat from bottom up in pieces and seamed. Work Cables 1 and 3 loosely so fabric does not draw in too much. A 1×1 rib placket is knit along with fronts and then sewn to the back neck. Buttonholes can be worked on right or left placket as desired, sample shows buttonholes on right front. Choose the size with +10″ of positive ease.
