PATTERN NOTES
This cardigan is raglan shaped and is worked seamless, top down back and forth in rows. To begin, stitches are cast on for the back and sides of the neckline. The neckline is then worked back and forth in rows with additional stitches cast on at the ends of the rows to shape the front neck while increases are worked at the raglan markers to shape the yoke. At the sleeve divide, sleeve stitches will be held on waste yarn to be picked up and worked in the round later. The body will continue to be worked back and forth in rows. Collar and front band stitches are picked up and worked later. A lattice pattern using twisted sts is worked down both sides of the front. This cardigan is meant to be worn open, therefore there are no button holes for this pattern.
