When knitting your bands - yes it's a bit tedious moving the working yarn from one side to the other -- it's important here to keep the yarn floating behind the stitches firm - again, moderation is the key - not too tight, nor too loose.....it's worth taking your time to get nice front cardigan bands that don't pull or sag. I started each row with an Olive stitch -- so that at the top and bottom of the band, to give that finished look where the bands meet.

At this point I like to tidy up any ends hanging - all of those ends on the bands, and tidy up the steek edges - the neckline steeks and the front band steeks. Once this is done, you're ready for the sleeves.
