Ribbed Mango Cardigan inspired Crochet pattern

This cardigan is worked full piece from back to front without stitching and arms worked separately .

It is as mentioned inspired from the mango cardigan. The result was similar and it was a nice wear made by myself.

So starting from the bottom back side and going up.

Once you reach the shoulder , you'll start working on one side then come back and work the second side by attaching the yarn again.

Once completed, you'll leave the arm opening and stitch the rest.

The arms are worked flat the same way we started then stitched to the cardigan.
