GAUGE
Note: It is recommended to work two swatches: one following the Left or Right Front Chart (Sizes XS-1X), and one in Moss Stitch pattern. Gauge is always taken after blocking.
20-st Front Panel (XS-1X) measures 7.25 inches/18.5 cm wide, using larger needles and Yarn A only
9 sts/15 rows = 4 inches/10 cm in Moss Stitch, using larger needles with one strand each of colors A and B held together
11 sts/16 rows = 4 inches/10 cm in Moss Stitch with smaller needles, using color A only
PATTERN NOTES
This cardigan is worked flat in pieces and seamed. The body is comprised of three rectangles, each worked from the bottom up. The front pieces wrap around the back of the work and are joined at the center back using the three-needle bind off.
When working the Fronts, a single strand of color B is held together with Yarn A for half of the panel, then dropped and the remainder of the panel is worked with a single strand of Yarn A. This creates a fluffy, frayed-like collar.
When placing markers to mark armhole/shoulder placement, ensure that the RS of the work is facing.
