Anna’s Summer Cardigan Junior

Anna’s Summer Cardigan Junior is worked from the top down with raglan increases on the yoke and a lovely, feminine lace pattern. The body is worked back and forth, while the sleeves are worked in the round on double-pointed needles or on a circular needle using the Magic Loop technique.
