Gloria Cardigan is worked top-down, seamlessly. You begin by knitting the back until reaching the underarm. Then, stitches are picked up to continue knitting the fronts. Once joined, the body of the garment is worked. The sleeves are worked straight in the round until the desired length is achieved. The cardigan features a decorative stitch pattern that repeats throughout the entire piece. The edging is worked simultaneously with the fronts and the body, so no additional finishing is required.
