Repeat Rows 1-4 one more time.  You now have 32(40) sts on the needle.
Break yarn, leaving long tails to weave in later.

PICK UP AND KNIT EDGE STITCHES
With Color 1 at the RS right front edge, pick up and knit one stitch for each row all the way up the right front edge until you reach the collar stitches.  Knit across 32(40) collar stitches with Color 1 yarn, then pick up and knit one stitch for each row along the
left front edge.   You now have both front edges and the collar stitches on the needle, and you are ready to knit the border.  The total number of stitches on the needle will depend on how long you made the body of the cardigan.
