Construction details(s)

The tutorial can be followed either row by row or diagram by choice.

SEAMLESS (from top to bottom and back):

The Amazonie cardigan is knitted from the top down in stockinette stitch with a decorative pattern near the buttonband. It uses two fine mohair and silk yarns. The neckband is worked first, then stitches are picked up to form raglans and shape the shoulders. The sleeves are knitted separately with a slightly balloon shape and decorative ribbing at the cuffs. Two buttonbands are added to the body, with an optional crochet trim.

WITH SEAM (flat, from bottom to top back and forth):

The Amazonie cardigan is knitted flat, from the bottom up, with two LACE yarns or a blend of LACE and FINGERING yarns. The back is knitted in stockinette stitch, followed by the front in stockinette stitch and lace stitch. The sleeves, also in stockinette stitch, are knitted flat and then sewn to the body with an invisible seam. It includes a crochet border around the neckline and button placket. The bottom of the sleeves and bust are 1x1 ribbed with a decorative stitch. The neckline and button bands in double stockinette stitch are finished with an invisible seam. A crochet lace border is optional for a delicate touch.
