Raa cardigan is a short cardigan with dropped shoulders.

The cardigan is a timeless and very comfortable basic knitwear. The use of small flat cables, garter stitches and no further finishing give the cardigan a relaxed, contemporary but also an elegant vibe.
It is a lightweight all-year-round cardigan, worked top down with a small all-over pattern.
The dropped shoulders are worked with short-row shaping and the Front and Back are worked separately before being joined at the armhole and worked until desired length. The long sleeves are also worked flat and sewn together afterward.

Sizes XXS (XS, S, M, L, XL, 2XL, 3XL)
Make sure to choose a size that allows for the dropped shoulders and upper body to have some ease. If you choose a size with less ease at body, a larger size for the sleeve with more upper arm circumference can be chosen to avoid the fabric sticking/creating bulks at the underarms.

The finished body circumference buttoned: 90.5 (98.5, 106.5, 114.5, 122.5, 130.5, 138.5, 146.5) cm/35.75 (38.75, 42, 45, 48.25, 51.25, 54.5, 57.75)”
