Raspberry Delight
Raspberry Delight is knit from the top down, starting with the back to the underarm followed by the right and left fronts. Stitches are then joined together to knit the body. Stitches are picked up for the sleeves, the collar and finally the button bands. Cardigans are not your cup of tea? No problem! Turn this into a sweater by following the same instructions as for the cardigan until you get specific instructions for the sweater option.
