Description: This top-down raglan-sleeve cardigan has a distinct twisted-rib pattern on neck, body and cuffs. It is worked seamlessly from neck down, then separated for body and sleeves. The body is finished, then sleeves are picked up and worked in the round to end of cuff. Check the finished measurements as it has been designed with little to no ease in most sizes, if you want some positive ease you may prefer to size up. Shown in size M.
