Shine Cardigan Junior is a light and airy cardigan knitted top-down with raglan increases and seed stitch down the sleeves. The body is finished with ribbing, and the sleeves are finished with cuffs in stockinette stitch which are folded double. Finally, stitches are picked up for the button bands along the front sections.

The cardigan should have a positive ease of approximately 10-12 cm. Knit a swatch before you begin, so that you can be certain you achieve the correct gauge. Recommended help videos are listed at the bottom of the pattern.
