Anna’s Summer Cardigan is worked from the top down with raglan increases along the yoke and a delicate lace pattern.
The body is worked back and forth, while the sleeves are worked in the round on double-pointed needles or using the Magic Loop technique. The button bands are knitted at the end from stitches picked up and worked along the front edges.
The cardigan is designed with approx. 7 cm of positive ease.
