Free Knit Pattern for a Raglan Sleeved Cardigan with Crocheted Edging in 8 ply, dk yarn.
This knitting pattern provides instructions for creating a raglan-sleeved cardigan worked in separate pieces (back, two fronts, and two sleeves) and then seamed. The cardigan features a simple stocking stitch body with shaping achieved through increases and decreases, particularly for the raglan armholes. The fronts have additional shaping for a slightly angled front edge. The sleeves are worked from the cuff up and feature a unique series of increases just after the initial cast-on rows, followed by a section of straight knitting and then decreases for the raglan shaping. A crocheted border using a contrasting color is added around all edges, including the sleeve cuffs, providing a decorative finish.
Skill Level: Intermediate. The pattern explicitly states this. The raglan shaping, the simultaneous increases and decreases on the front pieces, and the crocheted edging all contribute to this skill level.
