Jiji Cardi

This cardigan is particularly unique since the folded over collar is made first and used as a base for the raglan yoke. By making it this way, you can do the entire piece in one go without having to finish the sweater, and then pick up stitches to do the collar at the end. This sweater has 1.5-3.5” of positive ease built-in.
