Copenhagen Cardigan

This knitting pattern is in Swedish and is sold as an A4 printout.

The Copenhagen Cardigan is knitted from the top down with raglan increases, back and forth on circular needles. The neckline is shaped using short rows.  The Copenhagen Cardigan is knitted in stockinette stitch, while ribbing is knitted along the front edges to form the button band. The buttonholes are made last and are therefore not knitted in retrospect. Inset pockets are knitted into the body. The sleeves are knitted in the round in stockinette stitch on double-pointed needles or using the Magic Loop technique.
