The Aster Kids Cardigan is worked seamlessly from the top down, beginning with rows worked back and forth, with classic raglan construction and raglan increases. The body and sleeves are worked together in one piece, with the button bands worked at the same time. At the underarm, the body and sleeves are separated, and each is then worked individually. The body is worked back and forth, while the sleeves are worked in the round using either double-pointed needles or long circular needles with the Magic Loop technique.
