I look forward to making waffles with my family every Sunday. This fun and engaging cardigan reminds me of the grid of a square waffle, and the cozy texture is perfect for a slow weekend morning. The texture pattern is thoughtfully designed with the knitter in mind – more knits than purls, and the yarn changes always happen on the same side. This raglan cardigan features top-down, seamless construction with neckline shaping to start. The yoke and body are worked flat while the sleeves are worked in the round. The button band, collar, and buttons are added at the end and finished with a neat tubular bind off for a polished look.
