The Not Your Grandpa’s Cardigan is a cropped raglan cardigan worked in one piece from the top down. Stitches for the ribbed band are worked first, and then stitches are picked up and worked back and forth for the body of the cardigan. Sleeves are worked last in the round. The buttons are sewn on last!
