[Sport-weight yarn double-stranded to get worsted-weight yarn gauge]
Gauge: 19 sts and 25 rows/rnds = 4”/10cm in St st using larger needles with one strand of each color held together.
Needles & Supplies:
- US 7/4.5mm 32” circular needle and double-pointed needles, or size needed to obtain gauge.
- US 6/4mm 32” circular needle and double-pointed needles
- Stitch markers
- Stitch holders or waste yarn

Construction:
- This project is worked with one strand of each color held together throughout.
- This button-less cardigan is worked in one piece in from the top down.
- After completing the raglan yoke, the stitches are divided for working the lower body in rows to the lower edge, and the sleeves in the round down to the cuffs.
- When working the sleeves in the round, you may use the longer circular needles and the magic loop technique instead of double-pointed needles.
