    In general you seam the shoulders first, then seam the top of the sleeves to the armhole openings, then seam from the cuff to the hem of the sweater on each side. Adding button bands can be done either at the point where the shoulders are seamed, either before or after adding the neck band (read your pattern, it may tell you when this is best done) or after everything else is seamed. The most preferable stitch for seaming is mattress stitch.

    It really depends on the way you finished each piece, the style of the cardigan [drop shoulder, set in sleeves, raglan?] and how you plan on knitting and/or attaching the front band. Buttonholes should be on the left, buttons on the right.

    Send me the details and I'll set out the steps to follow.
