**CONSTRUCTION DETAILS:** The cardigan is crafted by starting at the center back, with each half of the upper body knit flat to the sleeve hems. Once completed, the two halves are seamlessly joined at the center back using a classic 3-needle I-cord bind off technique. The lower back and fronts are knit in individual pieces from the bottom up, incorporating decreases for a subtle A-line shaping that flatters all body types. After joining the upper body to the lower sections with the same elegant 3-needle I-cord bind off method, stitches are picked up along the lower edges for a tidy finish. The garter stitch collar band adds a lovely textured detail, and is completed with an I-cord bind off for a polished look. Finally, the underarms and sides are seamed to provide a comfortable fit.
