The Merry Raglan Cardigan is a cozy, seamless design worked from the top down with two strands of yarn, giving it a soft yet structured feel. The construction begins at the yoke, gradually shaping the shoulders and neckline before moving into the body and hem. Once the body is complete, the sleeves are worked for a consistent, smooth finish. To enhance the overall look and durability, the cardigan features a double-knitted buttonband, providing a sturdy and professional edge. The Italian cast-on and cast-off methods are used throughout for a neat, polished finish that blends seamlessly with the fabric. Finally, the buttonband and neckband are added as finishing touches, completing a timeless and elegant design.
