This is a sleeveless cardigan perfect to be used in mid-seasons with a long sleeves shirt underneath.
So practical with the button band that can be worn closed or opened.
Cute detail on raglan increase.
In the lower part of the body there is a lovely slipped stitch motif very easy to make, that give the impression of a colorwork section, but you are using just one color at time! You can also personalize that part with more colors for a rainbow version!

Pattern notes
Cardigan is knit top-down, back and forth. You do a button band while you knit the cardigan. Before the hem of the body you have to work a slip-stitch pattern. There isn’t a waist shaping.
