CLA RA CARDIGAN
……………………………

Exhale a sigh of relief as you accept those chilly garden party invites! The cozy Clara is now available as a cardigan. 



Enjoy the perfect geometric simplicity of the yoke, without compromising 
on fit. Then add a little oomph to work the edgings for an impeccable 
finish. The result: an elegant garment, with classic raglan construction, quick to knit in chunky yarn. Clara does not fear the cold and is prepared for any occasion.

……………………………

CLA RA stands for Classic Raglan, and refers to the fact that the yoke is shaped entirely with ‘every other round’ increases from start to finish; with the stitch counts for the bodice and sleeves attained at the same time, and no additional ‘blank rounds’ needed prior to sleeve separation.
