’Gently Does It’ is a classic styled , nearly seamless (there is a very short gap to sew up at underarm), bottom up cardigan, buttoned through with round neck and raglan sleeves. Pattern detail is created with a simple slip stitch on a purl row. Body is knit flat and sleeves are worked in the round.

The cardigan combines corrugated rib and a slip stitch pattern, which lets you create wonderful colour work without having to change colours.
Very easy repeats, based on a garter stitch. Suitable for both boys and girls, just choose your colour scheme!
