DESCRIPTION
Ready to do a top down raglan cardigan? This cardigan is particularly unique since the folded over collar is made first and used as a base for the raglan yoke. By making it this way, you can do the entire piece in one go without having to finish the sweater, and then pick up stitches to do the collar at the end. This sweater has 1.5-3.5” of positive ease built-in.

Knit top down, flat, and seamlessly, this pattern is written in 9 sizes – XS (S, M, L, XL) (2XL, 3XL, 4XL, 5XL). The model pictured is wearing the size M and is 5’7”, 142 pounds, and has a bust of 36.5” in circumference, for reference. This pattern does have instructions on how to add more sizes (up or down)

How to choose your size: Find your bust measurements below. Positive ease is built into the pattern, meaning final measurements are 1.5-3.5” more than that number.

Knit in the round, seamless.
