This short-sleeved cardigan is worked seamlessly from the top down with raglan shaping. The post-spike-stitch at the yoke and hem and the vintage buttons give this spring sweater a very elegant look. Some gentle shaping makes for a flattering, curve-hugging figure. Intermediate skills are recommended.
