Notes:

- Cardigan is worked side to side in 1 piece. Ch 2 at beg of row does not count as hdc. Hdc pat sts are NOT worked into hdc (except for very last st of each row). Work hdc pat in sp between sts.
- To maintain consistent color changes, join new ball of yarn to match last color change of previous ball. This will help to ensure stripe repeat will match as closely as possible. Unused yarn can be used for Cuffs to avoid waste.
