Anna's Summer Cardigan Pattern

Anna’s Summer Cardigan is worked from the top down with raglan increases on the yoke and a lovely, feminine lace pattern. The body is worked back and forth, while the sleeves are worked in the round on double-pointed needles or on a circular needle using the Magic Loop technique. The button and buttonhole bands are knitted at the end from stitches picked up and knitted along the front edges of the cardigan.
