Knitting Instructions for Women's Cardigan:

After 49 (46) cm from the initial row, attach markers to the first and last stitches to mark the beginning of the armholes.

After 21 (24) cm from the markers, bind off for the shoulder slants on both sides in every second row 2 x 7 stitches… 4 x 6 stitches (6 x 7 stitches).

After 71 cm from the initial row, bind off the center 22 (24) stitches for the neckline and finish each side separately. To round the neckline edge, bind off in every second row 1 x 2 stitches and 1 x 1 stitch.

Knit in ribbing, starting the row with a selvage stitch, 1 purl, 2 knit, and ending the row symmetrically.

After 2.5 cm from the start of the band, make 4 buttonholes on the right front as follows: starting from the lower edge, knit 6 stitches, bind off the next 2 stitches without knitting, immediately cast on 2 new stitches. Make 3 more buttonholes at intervals of 22 stitches, and finish the row.
