Knitting Pattern in English for a casual Cardigan with a Classic Raglan Yoke, a V-Neckline, and a Delicate Lace and Textured Pattern, Further Enhanced by Contrasting Yarn Qualities, Available in Sizes (XXS) XS | S | M (L | XL | 2XL) 3XL | 4XL | 5XL
 
Structure:
The cardigan is worked seamlessly from the top down in stockinette stitch and a textured lace pattern with raglan increases. The body is worked flat in rows. The yoke is shaped with raglan increases as well as additional increases to form the V-neckline. Once the sleeves have been separated from the body, the body is worked straight without further increases to the desired length and finished with a 1x1 twisted rib hem. The sleeve stitches are then placed back on the needles, and new stitches are picked up from the underarm area. The sleeves are worked in the round in stockinette stitch (without decreases!) to the desired length and finished with a 1x1 twisted rib cuff. Both the body and sleeves feature an engaging pattern combining textured sections (reverse stockinette stitch) with lace motifs. This pattern is further emphasized by incorporating the yarn “Arwetta”, creating a beautiful material contrast to the double-stranded mohair. Finally, the V-neckline and front edges are finished with a double-knit button band, giving the cardigan a neat and polished finish. The cardigan has a relaxed fit around the bust, a V-neck that is neither too high nor too deep, and comparatively loose, wide sleeves. Its length is slightly cropped, creating a modern silhouette.
