facing. Using your joining method of choice,
sew the shoulders together

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
