This cozy cardigan in 11 sizes (XXS to L and 1X through 6X) is knit from the bottom up with raglan shaping. The comfortable boxy shape begins with a deep, textured hem that hides a set of optional pockets and from there, the styling variations abound! The pattern includes choice of crew neck or V-neck finish, two sleeve lengths, and two body lengths. The hem texture is repeated on the lower sleeves and neckbands, with a twist stitch panel accenting the side seams and raglan lines. With just a short bit of seaming at the underarms, this cardigan is a speedy, relaxing project for experienced knitters as well as a great choice for adventurous beginner/intermediate knitters.
