Moondance

> *This is the perfect simple cardigan you've been looking for! Raglan > construction with some thoughtful > shaping for a great fit, stockinette > and a few mohair stripes to add a bit > of interest and texture: what's not to > love?* Moondance is a simple cardigan worked with two different yarn weights. The main portions is worked with sport weight wool, and the contrast stripes with lace weight silk-mohair. If the fuzz of mohair is not for you, you can also try another lace/light fingering weight for the contrasting yarn. Or just work a good old regular sport weight cardi! The cardigan is worked seamlessly top-down with raglan sleeves and a V-neck. The body is worked flat and straight. The pattern contains three sleeve length options to get the perfect fit for your arms. This pattern utilizes compound raglans, which create a slight s-curve to the "raglanseams". They flow better with the shape of the body, and are created simply by altering the increase rates along the raglan. **Please note the format of the pattern: the raglan repeats are given in a colour-coded worksheet, not every row is written out.** May sound complicated, but I've only heard lovely feedback on the format from my testers! **Size:** 1-2-3-4 (5-6-7-8) 9-10-11-12 The cardigan is meant to be worn with positive ease.
