Cut the yarn. If you prefer a longer sleeve, repeat rows 25 and 22 one more time.

JOIN PANELS (green lines in picture): Lay your front and back panels together, right sides
facing. Using your joining method of choice,
sew the shoulders together

TRIM (red lines in picture): With your sweater right side

out, join yarn with a Sl St to the corner of the front
panel. Stitch count is not crucial here, just be sure to
try and place your sts as evenly as possible.
Row 1: Ch 2, HDC evenly up the side of the first panel, across the back neckline, and down
the second panel until you reach the opposite corner, turn.
Row 2: Ch 2, HDC, *1 FPHDC, 1 BPHDC*, repeat*-* across cardigan opening, until the last
st. 1 HDC in last st at opposite corner.
Tie off and weave in all ends.

SEW SLEEVE on main body of cardigan:

-align the sleeves against the body of the sweater so that the
seam of the shoulder is in the exact middle of the sleeve.
Pin the sleeve into place so that it doesn’t move while you
are joining your pieces. Sew the last row of the sleeves to the main sweater.
SEW SLEEVE AND SIDE of cardigan:
-fold the cardigan and sleeves in half, wrong side out. Join yarn with a Sl St at the cuff, sew
from cuff to underarm. Continue down the side of the sweater and sew from underarm to
bottom hem. Tie off and repeat on opposite side.
Weave in all ends.

Congratulations!
You have your NAOMI
cardigan!
