The Klein Cardigan is knitted seamlessly from the top down in stockinette stitch.
The back is worked first, with shaping created using German short rows, and continued down to the armholes. The two fronts are then worked separately, also down to the armholes.
Next, the fronts and back are joined, and the body is worked back and forth until the desired length is reached.
Finally, the button bands, neckline and sleeves are knitted.
