Construction details(s)

The tutorial can be followed either row by row and in a diagram.

SEAMLESS (from top to bottom round):

The Amazonie cardigan is worked in top to down in stockinette stitch with a lace pattern near the button band. It uses two fine threads in mohair and silk. We start with a neckline band, then pick up stitches to form the raglans and shape the shoulders. The sleeves are knitted separately with a slightly balloon or standard shape with decrease and fancy ribs on the cuffs. Two buttoning strips are added on the body, with an optional hook border.
