The Mere Baby Cardigan is worked seamlessly from the top down on circular needles, with classic raglan construction and raglan increases. The body and sleeves are worked together in one piece, and at the underarm, the body and sleeves are separated and each is then worked individually. The body is worked flat, while the sleeves are worked in the round using either double-pointed needles or circular needles with the Magic Loop technique. Button bands are worked separately after the body is finished.
