Intermediate

26 sts & 34 rows = 10 cm / 4''

Stockinette stitch on needles A, after blocking

Crochet hook, waste yarn, stitch markers, row counter, scissors, tape measure, stitch holders, tapestry needle.

Provisional cast-on, i-cord cast-on, backward loop cast-on, cable cast-on, short rows, i-cord edge, i-cord, lifted increases, picot bind-off.

The cardigan is worked seamlessly from the top down. Back neckline stitches are cast-on, and shoulders and neckline are shaped using lifted increases. Stitches for the front shoulders are picked up along the back shoulders and worked with increases to shape the front neckline. 

When the entire width of each front is reached, stitches for ties are set aside, and the body is worked flat down to the desired length with waist shaping using decreases and increases. The body is bound off using picot bind-off.

Stitches for sleeves are picked up along the armhole edges, and the caps are shaped using short rows. Sleeves then are worked in the round straight down to the elbow; the trumpet sleeve is created by adding increases, and the sleeve is finished with a picot bind-off.

Finally, i-cord ties are added using the stitches set aside on the fronts.
