I made this cardigan when I started my first full time job as an elementary school teacher. I thrifted a lot of cute, long and modest dresses that accentuated my waist and wanted something neutral, and a bit slouchy, that would match them and keep my arms warm.

This is a recipe pattern that uses measurements, not stitch or row numbers, as instructions.

I have a YouTube video explaining raglan shape and the construction of this cardigan step-by-step at “raglan sweater: knitting vlog ep 2”

Shape Explanation: This cardigan is worked top-down using raglan shaping in broken rib. The body is completed first, then arms, in one seamless piece. The collar edging is then picked up and worked in 1x1 ribbing, then plackets are worked in the same manner.
