This is an Aran-patterned cardigan worked top-down raglan increases, starting at the neck rib and worked together with the button band. It is a seamless, heavy cardigan, so reinforcing the neckline with a slip stitches is essential. A crochet hook is required for this step. Try on the cardigan before and after reinforcement to feel the diffrence in fit. Buttonholes are not worked while knitting but are added later using the afterthought buttonhole technique with buttonhole stitch.
