Techniques needed to make this cardigan:

Stockinette stitch;
Cast-on; 

Russian drop; 

Decrease;

Cast-on;

Vertical and horizontal seaming. 



Stockinette stitch:

Instead, knit one row, purl one row—that's two rows knit, two rows purl—because you'll be slipping your work to the other side each time needed for the next color.



Stockinette stitch curls at the edges, so keep that in mind when choosing your yarn; it needs to be more structured to hold the shape of this type of neckline. There are instructions to help you with this in the pattern.
