Mina is an everyday, classic cardigan with a monk`s cord at the waist, and with small buttons. It is knit top-down with raglan shaping; the button bands and neckband are knit with the bodice.

The sleeves are slightly bloused with long narrow cuffs and a small faux seam/button band. Shoulders, button bands, hem and cuffs are knit in garter stitch in contrast to the stockinette stitch.

Mina is also about variation. The different sections can be used for colour blocking. The choice of drawstring and buttons can be made monochrome or in contrast.
