The cardigan is knitted top down.
First, a hem is worked in broken rib stitch, then worked back and forth in stockinette with increases and edges in broken rib stitch.
Once all the increase rows are completed, the pattern continues according to chart.
Next, raglan increases are worked, and the work is divided for the sleeves and body.
Sts are cast on for the armholes, and while the sleeve stitches rest, the body is worked in stockinette and finished with a broken rib edging.
The sleeve is worked in the round in stockinette with decreases, and it is also finished with a broken rib stitch edge.

A small detail from Arne Jacobsen’s Ypsilon wallpaper inspired the structured pattern on the round yoke of this baby cardigan. It is knitted from the top down with increases on the yoke, first evenly spaced and then as raglan increases.
