Key Cardigan - PetiteKnit knitting pattern

The Key Cardigan is worked top-down with raglan increases. The neckline is formed using short rows. The yoke and body are knitted in rows on circular needles, and the sleeves are worked in the round. Finally, facings are sewn along the front edges and at the neckline. The cardigan features a two-tone striped pattern.
