Product Information
The Copenhagen Cardigan is knit flat from the top down with raglan increases and is knitted with two strands of yarn held together throughout for a soft and fluffy feel. The neckline is shaped with short rows. The cardigan is knit in stocking stitch, with a vertical rib along the front edges for the button bands. The buttonholes are worked at the end (so you do not need to work them as you knit the button band). As an extra detail, the Copenhagen Cardigan features inside pockets. The sleeves are knit in the round in stocking stitch either on double pointed needles (dpns) or on circular needles using Magic Loop technique.
