Attaching the Sleeves

Step 2: Attach the first flower of the sleeve at the corner of the second flower of the armhole.
Step 3: For the first flower, connect one side to the cardigan and complete the other three sides according to the pattern.
Step 4: Attach subsequent flowers one after another to create a continuous piece.
Step 5: Attach the fifth (last) flower of the sleeve to both the first flower and the armhole on the back side.

Step 6: Join six corners where the sleeve meets the armhole to ensure a perfect joint without gaps.
Step 7: Repeat this pattern for subsequent rows to create the length of the sleeve.
Connecting the last flower of each row to the first flower of the row above it and to the rest of the cardigan.

Creating the Button Placket, Neckline, and Hem

Step 1: Start the button placket from the bottom right side of the cardigan, working upwards.

Double Crochet

Start at the first corner and make five double crochets.
Make four double crochets over the next five chains.
Make three double crochets over each corner and four over each five-chain space until you reach the top of the neck.
At the neck, make five double crochets over each of the two corner chains.
Make three double crochets over the popcorn stitch line and five double crochets over the first row of the motif.
For the second corner, make one complete double crochet and then two incomplete double crochets.
Joining them together. Repeat this for the next corner as well.
Continue the pattern on the back side of the neck, decreasing stitches in the same manner.
On the bottom hem, make ten double crochets in the corner, with a one-chain space between the fifth and sixth stitches.

Buttonholes

Work one double crochet in each stitch, except in the corner with the ten double crochets.
In the corner, make two double crochets, one chain, and two more double crochets in the chain space from the previous row.
Create a buttonhole by making one chain, skipping the next stitch, and then continuing with double crochets.
The first buttonhole is at the top of the placket, with subsequent ones spaced as desired.
