Description
The Capulus Cardigan is a simple raglan cardigan with a boat-shaped neckline and raglan increases worked around 3 stockinette-stitch raglan stitches. The wide raglan creates a nice definition between the sleeves and the body. The sleeves gradually taper toward the wrists. The cardigan is worked top-down, allowing you to adjust the length of both sleeves and body as desired. The neckline is gently shaped using short rows. The cardigan features picked-up button bands.

Recommended Needles
The cardigan is worked back and forth in stockinette stitch on a 4.5 mm circular needle (80 cm).
All ribbed edges are worked on a 3.5 mm circular needle (80 cm).

I recommend using the Magic Loop method for knitting the sleeves and sleeve ribbing. If you do not use Magic Loop, you will also need a 4.5 mm circular needle (40 cm) and a 3.5 mm circular needle (40 cm).
