Recommended needles: The cardigan is knitted in a double-height moss stitch pattern back and forth on 4 mm/US 6 circular needles (80 cm/32 inches). 

It is recommended to have 2 circular needles of 4 mm/US 6 so that the stitches that need to rest can be placed on one needle while knitting with the other, but you can also use a string or a stitch wire instead.

The ribbed edges on the neckline, armhole, body, and along the button bands are knitted on 3 mm/US 2.5 circular needles (80 cm/32 inches).

It is recommended to use Magic Loop method for knitting the sleeves and the ribbed edges on the sleeves. If you do not use the Magic Loop method, you will also need 1 circular needle of 4 mm/US 6 (40 cm/16 inches) and 1 circular needle of 3 mm/US 2.5 (40 cm/16 inches).

Gauge: 18 sts x 26 rows = 10 x 10 cm (4x4 inches) on 4 mm/ US 6 needles, knitted back and forth in double-height moss stitch pattern.

Procedure: The cardigan is knitted from the top down, starting with the ribbed neckline. On the yoke, increases are made on each side of three shoulder stitches on each side. The yoke is first knitted with short rows to shape the neckline, then worked back and forth until the cardigan reaches the correct width, at which point the shoulder increases stop. The front pieces and back piece are then knitted separately until the armhole depth is correct. From here, the work is joined, and the body is knitted back and forth. Stitches are picked up along the armhole for the sleeves. The sleeves extend to just before the wrist but can be adjusted to the desired length, as can the body. The button bands of the cardigan are knitted on once the cardigan itself is finished.
