Instructions
The cardigan is made with full motifs, half motifs and quarter motifs.
The motifs are joined together while working the last round or row with the join-as-you-go technique. Review the assembly diagram to place the motifs and determine the correct joining of each motif to its neighboring motif.
When joining motifs, keep motifs with wrong sides together with the current motif in front and the neighboring motif behind. The motifs are only joined across the spaces in the chain. To make the joining spaces obvious, you may find it helpful to place markers on the spaces in the chain across the edge(s) of neighboring motifs.
