Acacia Cardigan

Acacia Cardigan is a top-down, seamless cardigan with round neck and shaped with raglan increase, combination of cables, twisted stitches, and eyelets. Some short rows are worked to create a higher back neck. The button bands are knit at the same time with the cardigan, so you do not have to pick up stitches at the end.
