PATTERN NOTES

The body of this cardigan is worked in two halves - the Left Front and Left Back are one piece, and the Right Front and Right Back are a second piece. Once completed, they are joined at the centre back using mattress stitch. Take care when joining the two pieces to ensure that the patterning lines up correctly.

The sleeves are worked separately with set-in shaping.

Work the coloured panel using the intarsia method, using small balls of colour and twisting colours together on the WS where they meet to prevent holes forming.

Due to the complexity of offering different sizes in this pattern, a single chart is given for both sides of the body (Chart A), and separate charts for the left sleeve (Chart B) and right sleeve (Chart C). The pattern will tell you which stitch of each chart your first row begins and ends on. As you increase and decrease across the body and sleeves, ensure that you follow the colourwork pattern as shown on the chart, taking new sts into patt where appropriate.
