Rachel Cardigan

Rachel Cardigan is a top down seamless cardigan sweater with raglan shaping. It has a comfortable fit with 2” of positive ease. Raglan increases are worked throughout the yoke to create the classic raglan shaping. A lace panel runs down the front of both sides with a ribbing button band that is picked up and worked at the end. Once you get to the sleeve divide, you will place sleeves onto waste yarn and will continue working the body. The sleeves are worked separately in the round. Collar sts are picked up and worked at the end.

Each yoke instructions are written out separately for each size, making it super easy to follow along!
