        \ud83e\udde3 One-Piece Construction Overview<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

        The basic idea is to start from the back panel<\/strong>, work your way to the shoulders and front panels<\/strong>, and extend out from the sides to create sleeves<\/strong>. No need for complicated shaping or joining panels.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

        \n\n\n\n

        \ud83e\udea1 Step-by-Step Instructions<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

        1. Start with the Back Panel<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n
          \n
        • CH the width of the back (e.g., 60\u201380 chains for adult medium).<\/li>\n\n\n\n
        • Work in rows using HDC or DC until you reach the height from neck to underarm.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n
          \"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

          2. Create Front Panels<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n
            \n
          • Without cutting yarn, CH for the right front panel and continue stitching back along the existing row.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
          • At the end of the row, CH the same number of stitches to begin the left panel.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
          • Turn and stitch across all the stitches, including both front panels and the back.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n
            \n

            Now you\u2019ve created the full body width in one continuous piece.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

              \n
            • From the sides of the cardigan, mark where you want the sleeves to begin.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
            • Attach yarn and CH the desired sleeve length from underarm.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
            • Work in rounds or rows to build up sleeve width.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
            • Optional: taper sleeves slightly by decreasing every few rows.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n

              4. Shape the Neckline (Optional)<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n
                \n
              • For a rounded neckline, stop rows early on front panels.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
              • For a V-neck, decrease one stitch at the beginning of each front panel row.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n
