The Fucsi Cardigan is a timeless raglan-style cardigan worked from the top down in one piece, back and forth on circular needles, with raglan increases. The sleeves are knitted in the round using circular needles with the Magic Loop technique or double-pointed needles. Symmetrical patch pockets are sewn onto the front panels after the cardigan is finished. Easy to customize, this versatile cardigan allows you to adjust the body length to suit your personal style. It is designed with 4–6 inches / 10–16 cm of positive ease at the chest.
