This cardigan is worked in one piece from the bottom up. The lower body is worked back and forth and the sleeves are worked in the round. These pieces are joined at the underarm for working the raglan yoke. The button band is created in garter stitch and incorporated as part of the pattern.

The yarn used in these samples was Blue Sky Fibers “Organic Cotton Skinny”. I suggest that you over budget on the amount of yardage necessary to complete the project, as each knitter knits differently and there may be a discrepancy in the actual amount of yarn used.
