The Parisian raglan cardigan is worked top-down. Most of the cardigan is made with 7mm kneedles, and 3,5mm ones are used for straps. It is perfect as a second layer piece in the windy summer days and for first automn chills.

It is a short-fit and it is advised to make sleeves hardly reaching your wrists and body reaching hips. The cardigan is made with a double-thread of silk-mohair.

You start by casting on a neckline and adding increases gradually till you reach underarms. After forming your sleeve holes you continue to knit the body part and finish it with a ribbed strap. You pursue with sleeves and finish them with a ribbed straps.

Then you come back to your body part and do two finishing straps of the front: one plain one and another one with button holes. You finish your cardigan with neckline ribbed strap and with your last button hole. Then you attach your buttons to the plain side of the body strap.
