Venice cardigan

The Venice cardigan is a hip length style knit with a crew neck and 3/4 narrowing sleeves. Cardigan body and sleeves are worked in different colour solid stripes. This sweater has a neckline and is worked top-down in Stockinette stitch pattern in raglan using increases M1L and M1R. Front edge is worked only after knitting the whole sweater. Neck, cuffs and hem are worked in Rib stitch pattern. The body of sweater is worked straight, therefore it can be easily made longer - so more yarns should be estimated.
