The raglan-sleeved cardigan is worked top-down in rows. Increases are made at the raglan corners down to the underarms, and ease is added under the arms with additional stitches. The V-neck on the front pieces is shaped with increases, and the body is worked straight down. The sleeves are worked top-down in rows as well, with decreases along the edges, and are finished with stretchy ribbed cuffs. The hem of the cardigan also features a ribbed edge. The practical crocheted pockets add functionality, and the colorful stripes at the raglan corners bring a small but playful detail. The reinforced button band that runs along the front edge adds structure and gives the cardigan a polished look.
