- Shape Armholes: Bind off 4 stitches at the beginning of the next 2 rows to create armholes.
- Continue Body: After shaping the armholes, continue working in the cable pattern for another 8 inches.
- Bind Off: Once you reach the desired length, bind off all stitches.
Sleeves
- Pick Up Stitches: For each sleeve, pick up 40 stitches along the armhole edge.
- Work in Cable Pattern: Follow the same cable pattern as the body for 18 inches.
- Bind Off: Once the sleeve length is achieved, bind off all stitches.
Finishing Touches
- Sew Shoulder Seams: Align the front and back pieces and sew the shoulder seams together securely.
- Neckline: Pick up stitches along the neckline and work in ribbing (knit 2, purl 2) for 1 inch. Bind off.
- Buttons: Attach buttons and create button loops evenly along the front edge of the cardigan for closure.
