Good to know

The cardigan is knitted top down, in  back and forth fashion.  Stitches are increased until the  cardigan has the right width. Sleeve stitches are then set aside at the armpits and the body completed first. Then the sleeves are knitted in the round from the armpits. The button holes are part of the inner edge and are knitted last.

Read the pattern before you start your project.

The quantity of yarn required is based on an average, and is therefore approximate. The cardigan can be knitted in any yarn that consists of the same thickness as Chunky baby, and in the desired colour combination.
