This easy raglan cardigan is worked top-down in one piece, creating a seamless garment with no sewing required. The design uses a simple stitch pattern that is beginner-friendly while still creating a textured and modern look.

The cardigan begins at the neckline and increases at four raglan corners to shape the shoulders and sleeves. Once the yoke is complete, the sleeves are separated and the body is continued to the desired length.

The pattern is written using US crochet terminology and includes step-by-step instructions. A video tutorial is also provided to help guide you through the construction.
