Favorite Raglan Cardigan

Meet the cardigan designed to become a favorite. The Favorite Raglan Cardigan is a classic top-down raglan with a clean V-neck, straightforward stockinette body and plenty of options for making it your own. Choose a full or cropped body length, full or 3/4 sleeves, and either 2 x 2 or 1 x 1 ribbing for the bands. Worked at a worsted-weight gauge of 4.5 stitches per inch, the pattern includes nine sizes with finished chest measurements from 38" to 55.5". The sleeves are worked in the round after the body is divided, and the neck band is picked up and worked last. Detailed instructions are included for Sherry’s One-Row Buttonhole, a refined one-row horizontal buttonhole technique that creates a tidy, stable finish within the ribbed button band. The sample shown on the cover is worked in Juniper Moon Cotton + Merino in Pistachio #15. **Gauge** 18 stitches & 24 rows = 4" in stockinette stitch **Finished Chest Circumference** 38(39.5, 42.5, 44, 46)(47.5, 50.5, 53, 55.5)" **Finished Length** Full Length: 20(21, 22, 23, 24)(25, 25, 25, 25)" Cropped Length: 17(18, 18, 18, 19)(19, 19, 19, 19)" **Yardage** Depending on size and the body/sleeve options selected, approximately 800–1500 yards of worsted-weight yarn are required.
