Assembling Instructions:
To start assembling the cardigan you need to grab your Back panel and two side panels. Lay your back panel flat, now take the two front panels and line up on each side as shown in the photo above. You will need to line up the front panels to the edges of the back panel. Now using your Tapestry needle and a spare piece of yarn and start to sew the top of the panels to the back panel (using a whip stitch).
After the tops are sewn together, you will start on the side seams. You will begin sewing at the bottom of the sweater using the same technique as the tops.
Do this on Both Sides.
Sewing Instructions for sewing up the sides seams.
Xs- up to row (leaving about 6-6.5 inches for the sleeve on each side)
S- up to row (leaving about 6.5-7 inches for the sleeve on each side)
M- up to row (leaving about 7-7.5 inches for the sleeve on each side)
L- up to row (leaving about 7.5-8 inches for the sleeve on each side)
1x- up to row (leaving about 8-8.5 inches for the sleeve on each side)
2x- up to row (leaving about 8.5-9 inches for the sleeve on each side)
3x- up to row (leaving about 9-9.5 inches for the sleeve on each side)
4x- up to row (leaving about 6-6.5 inches for the sleeve on each side)
Now to move on to the Sleeves
Take your sleeve piece and fold it over. Then Grab your Tapestry Needle and a spare piece of yarn sew along the edge using the whip stitch. Do this on both sides
Once both sleeves are sewn you are ready to connect them to the body. Turned the Cardigan and sleeves inside out then you will sew along the very edges of both the sleeve and the body armhole opening with a tapestry needle and piece of yarn all the way around to connect the sweater. Be sure to sew loosely. Repeat this for both sleeves. After both sleeves are connected, weave in all ends and single crochet around the whole Cardigan give it a cleaner look. You are now complete!!
