Description
This raglan cardigan is worked seamlessly from the top down with optional waist shaping. A section of German Short Rows are worked at the back neck for a comfortable fit. The rib stitch front bands in the grey sample are attached to the body using the join-as-you-go method.
The green sample features double-knit front bands that are joined to the body with stitches picked up along front edges. Sleeves instructions are written to use DPNs; however, an alternate method of working small circumferences in the round can be used, such as Magic-Loop, or a short circular needle for the larger sizes.
