The Mia Cardigan is a spacious cardigan with a simple sleeve and side body design. The cardigan is worked back and forth from the top down with raglan increases. Once the yoke is completed, the sleeve stitches are put on hold and new stitches are cast on for the underarms. The body and sleeves are worked separately and finished with a small section of twisted rib. Sizes 7 to 11 feature sleeve decreases to gentle taper the sleeve towards the wrist. Lastly a double-knit button band is worked with 5 buttonholes on the right side.
