Abria is a top down seamless raglan cardigan that is knit flat. It features a ribbed neckline worked followed by short rows at the back of the neck that create a comfortable fit. There are raglan increases that are simultaneously worked with Fair Isle colourwork across the yoke.

Once the raglan increases are complete, the cardigan is divided into body and arms. Optional waist shaping can be added by decreasing and increasing stitches. The hem is finished off with ribbing. The sleeves are worked in the main colour and finished off at the wrist with elements of the yoke colourwork and ribbing. Stitches are then picked up along the front opening edges of the cardigan and worked in ribbing, with the inclusion of 6 buttons.
