Sleeves are worked separately and flat, before joining with the Body at the yoke. Raglan decreases shape the lower yoke with short rows across the Back. Repeats of the garter lace pattern from the hem and cuffs conceal further yoke decreases up to the neck. A button band is picked up and worked on afterwards to ensure a stable fastening.\u003cbr\u003e• You will need up to 8 stitch holders so may find it easier to use scrap yarn for holding the underarm and Sleeve stitches.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Daughter of a Shepherd","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":39894108635344,"sku":"BEP008","price":7.95,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0552\/9350\/9840\/products\/Skipwith_20Cardigan_20at_20Loop_20London_203-1593440143.jpg?v=1626167596","url":"https:\/\/loopknitting.com\/en-eu\/products\/skipwith-cardigan","provider":"Loop Knitting","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
