From machine to hand-finished, this raglan cardigan is knitted at full velocity using a Sentro Knitting Machine for a perfect balance of speed and style. Knit this sweater in a day without it looking like you knit it in a day. The inset pockets are a step up from traditional patch pockets, offering a clean, modern look while keeping the stitching hidden on the inside—offering a professional finish for beginners still working on their seaming skills.

Garment Bust (approx.): 91 (103, 111, 123) cm / 35.5 (40.5, 43.5, 48.5) inch

Gauge and Yarn Suggestions
15 sts + 21 rows = about 4 inch. (10 cm)
Aran/Worsted weight yarn should provide this or a similar gauge on the Sentro.

Yarn Amount: Approx. 350g (390g, 430g) / 735m (820m, 900m) / 804yds (897yds, 985yds)

Fibre suggestions: Compositions of majority synthetic or animal fibres such as Acrylic, Wool, Nylon or Alpaca. I would not recommend 100% plant fibres such as cotton or linen.

Construction breakdown
The top is made in 9 pieces and seamed together: back left, back right, 2 sleeves, left front, right front, 2 pockets and button band. The body is knit flat bottom up, sleeves are knit top down flat then in the round. Finishings are made by hand so some experience of hand knitting or crochet are required.
