Whylon Cardigan Mens

Whylon Cardigan (Norwegian and English)
Knitting pattern by Thea M

The Whylon Cardigan is knitted top-down. First, the back piece is knitted back and forth with increases to shape the shoulders. Stitches are picked up from each shoulder for the front pieces, which are each knitted back and forth with increases for the neck. When the yoke is complete, the different parts are joined into one, and the body is knitted back and forth. Stitches are picked up along the armholes for the sleeves, along the neck edge for the neck, and the button bands are knitted last.A pattern is knitted into the yoke, at the bottom of the body and at the bottom of the sleeves.
