NOTES

• The body of this cardigan is worked back and forth in one piece from the lower edge to the underarm. The sleeves are worked separately in the round, then the sleeves and body are joined to work the yoke. A circular needle is used to accommodate the large number of stitches.
  
• Lace chart is worked both in rounds and back and forth in rows. When working in rounds, work every row as a right-side row.
