Key Cardigan

The Key Cardigan is worked from the top down and its yoke is shaped with raglan increases. The neckline is shaped using short rows. The yoke and the body are worked back and forth on a circular needle, while the sleeves are worked in the round. At the end, plackets are worked along the front edges and along the neck. The cardigan is worked in a two-coloured stranded stripe pattern.
