This cardigan is knitted seamlessly in a top-down raglan technique with a 1 x 1 rib stitch. It makes it easy to try it on along the way, so you can customize it to fit your body and end up with the perfect sleeve and body length for you. Slightly oversized with feminine silhouette.
The body is knitted flat, while the sleeves are knitted in the round. You begin by knitting the yoke at the same time making a raglan increase until the project is divided between the body and the sleeves. As of this point each part of the project is knitted separately. The body is finished with a double-knitted edge band using a seamless technique. Sleeves have a decorative pattern that is achieved by symmetrical increase and decrease of stitches.
