Josefine Cardigan is a butterysoft and cozy cardigan knitted top-down with raglan increases and v-neck.

The cardigan is worked back and forth with raglan increases and additional increases to shape the neckline. When all increases are completed, the work is divided into body and sleeves. The sleeve stitches are placed on holders, and the fronts and back are joined while casting on stitches for the armholes. After that, the body is knit in one piece and finished with a ribbed edge at the bottom. The sleeves have increases to create a slight puff and end with a delicate picot edge. Finally, stitches are picked up along the front edges and neckline for a ribbed edging.
