Ready to Join

Now we join together the sleeves and the body with just one row of knitting.  This is one of my favorite parts about knitting in the round (even though this is a cardigan, which is knit back and forth, not actually in a round).

JOIN SLEEVES TO BODY

Joining Row (Color 2 on the RS):  Slip 1, p1, (k1, p1) twice, k 25 (28) across the right front panel, place marker,  k 44(46) across right sleeve, place marker, k 62 (68) across back, pm, k 44 (46) across left sleeve, place marker, k 25 (28) of left front, (p1, k1) three times.
You will have 212 (228) stitches, divided by four markers indicating the front and back of the shoulders (which is where all the action takes place). Color 2 is at the left front edge.

The next two rows are worked on the WS:
Row 1(with Color 1): Slip 1, k1, (p1, k1) twice, p to last 6 stitches, (k1, p1) two times, k2.
Row 2(with Color 2): Slip 1, k1, (p1, k1) twice, p to last 6 stitches, (k1, p1) two times, k2.
