Sunday Cardigan - Paper

The Sunday Cardigan is knitted top down in one strand of Inca Wool and two strands of silk mohair. The yoke is knitted back and forth in rib with increases, and the button bands/front edges are knitted at the same time. The body and sleeves are knitted in stocking stitch, and both are finished with a wide rib edge. The sleeves of the Sunday Cardigan are extra long. The neckline is folded down and sewn to the wrong side. The buttonholes are made at the end (i.e. not knitted in during the process) by sewing around the edge with tongue stitch/buttonhole stitch.
