Meet the cardigan designed to become a favorite.

The Favorite Raglan Cardigan is a classic top-down raglan with a clean V-neck, straightforward stockinette body and plenty of options for making it your own. Choose a full or cropped body length, full or 3/4 sleeves, and either 2 x 2 or 1 x 1 ribbing for the bands.

Worked at a DK-weight gauge of 5.5 stitches per inch, the pattern includes nine sizes with finished chest measurements from 37.5” to 56”. The sleeves are worked in the round after the body is divided, and the neck band is picked up and worked last.

Detailed instructions are included for Sherry’s One-Row Buttonhole, a refined one-row horizontal buttonhole technique that creates a tidy, stable finish within the ribbed button band.

A five-color striped variation is also included, along with six suggested color combinations for a completely different take on the same cardigan.

The striped cover sample is worked in Ikigai Paka Washi, while the solid full-length, 3/4-sleeve sample is worked in Rowan Pure Alpaca in Ocean #128.
