The Tatum pattern incorporates bands of openwork along the raglan seams and as a nice detail on the patch pockets.

Complimentary StitchSaver™ Row Checker

Designer Knitting Pattern
The Tatum cardigan knitting pattern is worked top down from the neck to the waist and cuffs. Stitches from the front, back and sleeves are converted to a band of openwork along the raglan seam. Mirrored increases are placed along these decorative bands. Matching openwork trims each patch pocket.

This designer pattern guides you in the creation of a sweater that can be removed from your needles at any time to test the fit. And allows for working to a length that suits your own personal style. It also includes instructions for all sizes, a list of all abbreviations, a schematic for accurate blocking, and a glossary of terms. Plus, a link is provided to Knitting Help on our web site.
