Garter Cardigan is a simple and easy-to-knit cardigan worked from the top down using 1 strand of Merino, Cotton Merino or Pure Silk. It is worked back and forth with raglan increases that create a simple and decorative eyelet pattern along both sides of the raglan seams. The sleeves are worked back and forth and seamed along the underarms at the end, but can be worked in the round if preferred instead.
