I am a beginner with sweaters.
What does ”amigurumi style” mean? I know how to BL sc. I’m not sure about amigurumi though.
Is there a video or detailed explanation somewhere?
Thank you for the help!
Fantastic pattern. Excited to make this!
Is there a diagram? What does under Left front, Back panel and sleeve worked together section “Fold with WS facing , sl stitch using BL of front panel and FL of back panel?” Where is the fold? And where are the front panel and back panel? A diagram would help to see what’s being written in the instructions
Hello! I’ve reached out to the designer for advice and she or I will reply as soon as possible. Thanks! – Nicola, Editor
Hello! The cardigan is worked in two halves, from the center back to the cuff.
The first section is the center back, then you work a chain to create the front and back at the same time, then fold it and slip stitch the front and back together to create a side seam, then work in continuous rounds in the gap to create the sleeve.
Hope this helps! – Nicola, Editor
Is there a diagram for this Cardi?
Thanks!

Found it. The chain is at the end of the previous row.
The Left Front does not mention a chain, however the Right Front does. Do you just use the same numbers? Thank you
