How do you prepend an IV to the ciphertext in Go?

Question

I would really appreciate the help. I have the following code running. Unfortunately, I do not understand how to properly prepend the IV to the ciphertext. Line 1 is the plaintext. Line 2 is the encrypted plaintext in terms of DES (which is wrong). Line 3 is the decryption of Line 2.
