Join us for the ZURI KAL here!!!

The Zuri cardigan is a top-down V-neck raglan cardigan with simple cable details in the yoke and ribbing. First, stitches are cast on for the back and shaped with German short rows. Raglan increases and V neck increases are worked to shape the yoke, while working cables in the raglan at the same time. After splitting for sleeves, the body is worked back and forth in stockinette stitch. The sleeves stitches are knit in the round on shorter circular needles or double pointed needles and the button band is worked in double knitting.
