This V-neck cardigan is worked seamlessly from the bottom up, with mirrored cables running all the way up the body, alongside the button band and playful cable details on the sleeves. Once the body and sleeves are completed, all are joined together and stitches are decreased in a raglan yoke. The button band is then picked up and worked in 1×1 rib.
