This cardigan is knitted from the top down. The yoke is increased as a raglan from the neckline to the underarm, where the sleeve and body stitches are divided and knitted separately. There is some waist shaping on the body for a flattering fit, and the sleeves are tapered. A wide lace panel is knitted at the centre of the back, and narrow lace panels run along the edges of each front. The body is worked flat – you will only need to knit in the round for the sleeves.
