Copenhagen Cardigan

The Copenhagen Cardigan is worked flat back and forth from the top down with raglan increases on a circular needle. The neckline is shaped using short rows. The cardigan is worked in stockinette stitch, while rib front plackets are worked along the front edges at the same time. Afterthought pockets are worked from stitches that are picked up along the fronts of the cardigan. The sleeves are worked in the round in stockinette stitch either on double-pointed needles or on a long circular needle using the Magic Loop technique.
