Cressida Wrap Cardigan is worked top down with raglan increases. Increases are also worked on the fronts to create the wrap design, and these increases are continued after the yoke has been divided for body and sleeves but now also on the WS. The wrap can be worked with short, three quarter or long sleeves. The wrap is worked in one piece and the only finishing required is the ties/button bands that are worked across picked up sts in the front edge and under sleeves.
