Notes:
The Cardigan is worked seamlessly top down in stitch pattern. Start with the neck opening in 1x1 rib, then go on in stitch pattern and work raglan / yoke increases. Separate Body and sleeves by putting sleeve stitches on separate holder, continue the body including setup for pockets, and finish body with 1x1 rib. Now sleeves are worked in rounds, finished with 1x1 rib, you can decide to go for cropped or regular length. You pick up stiches for the button bands and work them in 1x1 rib. The pocket bags are worked with an afterthought pocket technique (photos are shown).
