Brief overview of the construction:
The cardigan is knitted top down using two strands of Silk Mohair. The back is worked flat. Stitches are
increased for the armholes. Stitches are then picked up for each shoulder on the front pieces and increased
for the neckline. The pieces are joined, and the body is knitted flat. The body is finished with a ribbed hem.
Stitches are picked up around the armholes for the sleeves, which are worked top down in the round. A
ribbed neckline is picked up and worked flat, and button bands are knitted in double knitting.
