Notes
Clark is a long, generously shaped cardigan with rib and lateral braid details, worked flat in one piece from the bottom up, then split at the armholes for back and fronts. A shaped stand-up collar is worked over the joined fronts and back. Full-length sleeves are worked flat from the cuff up, then set in and seamed.
