This cardigan is knitted in pieces and then sewn together. All the pieces are knitted in two-color stripes and in a shadow knitting pattern. We begin by knitting each of the fronts, side to side. Then the back panel, also knitted side to side. After joining the shoulders, we pick up stitches along the edge of the armhole and knit the sleeves. To shape the jacket, we join the sleeve seams and the side seams. At the end, we work a border around the bottom of the jacket and the selvedges of the fronts.
