Matilda Cardigan is worked bottom up. The body is worked a charted eyelet pattern while sleeves and yoke are worked in stockinette st with seed st edges. On the yoke raglan increases are worked - but only across the sts of the body, while a lot of sts are decreased on the sleeves right before the neck band to create puffy sleeves.
