Gina is a warm an cosy cardigan with raglan sleeves and an eye-catching mosaic pattern on the lower fronts and back.

It is worked in simple stockinette stitch from top down in once piece first, then you divide it into body and sleeves and work the body and sleeves separately. The mosaic pattern (worked with slip stitches) is described row by row, you always have to work with one color per row only.

After working the sleeves from top down in rounds, you work the neckband along the front edges and the neckline. The neckband is worked without buttonholes, but feel free to close the cardigan with some snap fasteners or a shawl pin.
