NOTES
This button-less cardigan is worked in one piece from the top down. After completing the raglan yoke, the stitches are divided for working the lower body and sleeves separately from the underarms down.
When working the sleeves in the round, you may use your preferred needle choice for small circumferences instead of a 16” circular and double-pointed needles; for example, a long circular needle with the magic loop method, or two short circulars.
