For the edging:
*If you happy with the length of your cardigan weave the edge part then work sc the last row but don’t fasten off, change to 4.5mm hook, work from bottom to top edge with 2sc every space, for the neck part work 1sc until the opposite top edge and 2sc in every space down to the bottom of the other part, fasten off.
Insert white yarn with 4.5mm hook, work moss stitch for edging all around the cardigan, ch1, sc next st, ch1,skip next st, sc next st, repeat until the end. Fasten off and weave end and put button for closing. And you're done!
