This pattern can be found in issue 10 of Laine Magazine.

This pattern also comes in a sweater version.

Seli is a seamless cropped top-down raglan featuring embellishment on the cuffs, neckline, hem and sleeves. The cuffs, hem and neckline have corrugated rib and an Estonian knitted braid called a Kihnu Vits or Kihnu Braid. The sleeves have descending motifs created using the inlay technique called Roosimine. The sweater is worked seamlessly by placing sts for the sleeves on hold using waste yarn or a holder while completing the body.

The cardigan is steeked to create the cardigan opening in the front. The steek is marked by a purl st column in the stockinette st portion of the body and knitted colour stripes in the hem. The buttonhole band and neckband feature corrugated rib worked flat.
