Ellen's Cardigan - Paper

Ellen's Cardigan is knitted top down with raglan increases, back and forth on circular needles. The neckline is created using shortened needles/reversible needles. The cardigan is knitted in stocking stitch, while along the front edges, rib is knitted to form buttonholes. Buttonholes are made at the end and are therefore not knitted in during the work. Inside pockets are knitted on the body. The sleeves are knitted in the round in stocking stitch on double pointed needles or with the Magic Loop technique.
