NOTES

Cardigan is worked in 5 pieces: Back, 2 Fronts, and 2 Sleeves.

All pieces are worked from the lower edge upwards.

To change yarn color, work last st of old color to last yarn over. Yarn over

with new color and draw through all loops on hook to complete st. Proceed

with new color. Fasten off old color.

For those who find a visual helpful, we've included a stitch diagram of the

Double/Mesh pattern.

When you see 'work in pattern as established' in the instructions, this

means to work the next row of the pattern st, lining up sts as in previous

rows. Take care to have at least 2 dc at the beginning and 2 dc at the end

of each mesh row.
