Procedure: 
The cardigan is knitted top down. Begin by casting on stitches at the centre of the back, then knit back and forth in stockinette stitch with cables - first over the left and then over the right shoulder. Pick up stitches along the front edges of the shoulders and the back. Then, continue knitting in stockinette stitch with cables, while simultaneously working increases for the sleeves and neck and later for the arm holes. The work is then divided, and the body and sleeves are knitted individually. The body is knitted back and forth and concluded with a ribbing and tubular bind off. The sleeves are knitted in the round with cables and concluded with ribbing and tubular bind off. Finally, pick up stitches for the vertical ribbing along the fronts and the V-neckline. The ribbing is attached continuously whilst being knitted and buttonholes are created at the same time.
