Garter Cardigan is a simple and easy-to-knit cardigan in garter stitch worked from the top down using 1 strand of either Merino, Cotton Merino or Pure Silk. It is worked back and forth with raglan increases on the yoke that create a simple and decorative eyelet pattern along both sides of the raglan seams. The sleeves are intended to be worked back and forth and seamed along the underarms at the end but they can be worked in the round if preferred instead.
