CONSTRUCTION DETAILS: This beautiful cardigan is crafted by knitting the fronts and back separately from the bottom up, followed by seaming at the sides and shoulders for structural integrity. The modified drop sleeves are created by picking up stitches at the shoulders, knitting flat, and then seaming into place. The collar bands are knit simultaneously with the front sections and then seamed at the back neck for a polished finish.
