Knitting Pattern for a Cardigan with Raglan Sleeves and Refined Ribbing Pattern

This elegant cardigan reaches the hips and can be easily lengthened or shortened as needed. It features stylish raglan sleeves and a refined ribbing pattern that extends from the front panel into the collar. The ribbing pattern on the front yoke continues into the neckline, flowing smoothly into the collar at the back. The ribbing is also worked on the outer sides of the raglan sleeves and merges seamlessly into the collar at the shoulders. This well-thought-out detail gives the cardigan a unique look.

This pattern is designed for knitters with some experience who are looking for a versatile project.
