The Geek Chic Cardigan is knit in 1 piece, top-down seamlessly. First work the raglan yoke and main body flat, then both sleeves in the round. Finish by working applied button bands and collar (in 1 piece) sideways. Main fabric of the cardigan is worked in all-over rib-based texture (modification on bamboo stitch), trimmings - in regular 1x1 rib.
