Construction The seamless cardigan is worked from the top down, back and
forth in rows. Increases are worked to shape the front neckline,
while raglan increases form the shoulder/yoke section. As
soon as the yoke depth is reached, the stitches for the sleeves
are put on hold and the body is worked straight to the ribbed
hem without shaping. The sleeves are worked in the round,
top down to the cuff . For the ribbed button band, stitches
are picked up along the front opening. The 2-color pattern is
a mixture of basic stitch patterns - stockinette stitch, garter
stitch and slip stitches - and is worked over the entire cardigan.
The raglan “seam” is accentuated with slip stitches along the
increase lines.
