Assembling the Arms:
Now lay the rectangle flat with the right side facing up and fold the rectangle from Top down so the opening Is at the bottom.
Now from the bottom up towards the fold, count the given number of inches on each side. Place your stitch marker in the Given Number of inches on both sides. Put stitch markers at your connecting points at the bottom opening to keep your sides in place while you sew the sides. Now you will single crochet or sew (if you choose) through both sides for both the left and right side from the 1st stitch marker to the 2nd. Make sure to line up each stitch when single crochet them together, so you have an even seam. When finished turn it right side out so the right side is on the outside now.
Stitches For Each size:
• XS/S/M – 13”
• L/XL – 12”
• 2XL/3XL – 10”
• 4XL/5XL – 7”
• Single Crochet through both sides to close your seam, and continue until you reach your stitch marker.
Now once you finish with your seams and flip the garment right side out, it will look like the picture below.

1. Attach your yarn to the bottom of your Cardigan, ch 1, hdc all the way around, sl st to 1st hdc
2. Ch 2, dc in same st, *ch1, sk 1, dc* - rep around, sl st to 1st dc
