Making a cardigan is a popular knitting project. It involves creating a garment with two fronts, a back, and two sleeves. The process typically begins by knitting the back of the cardigan, followed by the two fronts and then the two sleeves. To make a cardigan, one must first KNIT four separate pieces and then join them together. The term 'KNIT' is used to describe the process of looping yarn through needles to create a fabric.
