The stitch is not difficult, you can easily memorize it, however you must pay attention and the construction requires concentration. The pattern includes written tutorials and links to video tutorials for particular techniques, and a checklist to help you keep track of your progress.

Construction
The Mangrove Cardigan is worked bottom-up. You will start by working the bottom of the body in flat knitting, and you will divide the stitches in three parts to work the top of the left front, the top of the back and the top of the right front separately. You will join the shoulders with a seam, or by casting off the stitches together. The sleeves are also knitted from bottom to top, in circular knitting with the Magic Loop technique. They are sewn to the body on a row of open stitches, without casting of the stitches so that the armholes  are flexible enough. To finish, the stitches are picked up along the fronts and back collar to work the button band in double stockinette stitch, with 4 buttonholes.
