Montrose Cardigan Junior (English)

£6.50

This pattern is in English.

The Montrose Cardigan Junior is worked from the top down.

First the back is worked back and forth with increases to shape the shoulders. Stitches are then picked up from the cast-on edge to form each shoulder and worked back and forth whilst shaping the neck. The fronts are joined to the back at the underarms and worked back and forth until the desired length is achieved. The body is finished with ribbing. Sleeve stitches are picked up around the armhole opening; short rows are worked to shape the shoulder followed by decreases to taper the sleeves whilst working in the round. Finally, stitches are picked up around the edge of the cardigan to work the button band in double knitting with buttonholes along the right side.
