Details

Construction
The cardigan is worked top down, beginning with the back. The shoulders are shaped with short rows, and the Paw print pattern is worked to the underarms. Stitches are then picked up from each back shoulder to work the fronts. Shape the neckline and work each front to the underarms. While working the fronts, choose your preferred button band option. Once both fronts are complete, join them to the back at the underarms and work the body. After the body is finished, pick up stitches around each armhole and work the sleeves in the round. Finally, pick up stitches around the neckline to work the neckband. If you choose to work the button bands separately, complete them before working the neckband.

For the sleeveless version, you can follow the sleeve instructions to pick up stitches, skip the sleeve, and finish directly with a ribbing cuff.
For a shorter sleeve, working the paw motif repeat only once also looks lovely. In the sample, the sleeves were worked a bit longer and slightly roomy to comfortably cover the upper arms.

You can choose between two options for the button bands:
working them at the same time as the body, or working them separately after finishing the body.
