This pretty reversed stockinette cardigan is knit from the top-down with raglan shaping. It features a pretty cable pattern at the raglan increase and a combination of the cable pattern at the sides for waist shaping. The cables pull in the waist, but can easily be blocked out wider for more ease. The cardigan can be knit with short or long sleeves.
If you are like me and don’t like to purl sleeves in the round, I have included instructions on how to work the sleeves inside out without having to purl.
