Lyrical Knits Rocket’s Cardigan of the Galaxy is the second installment featuring a comfortable, open front cardi inspired by the character of Rocket in the Guardians of the Galaxy movie series. This woman sweater is a top-down from the neckband to hem seamlessly (except for one small seam at the back of the neck). Raglan increases add stitches to the sleeves and bodice at different rates to give you modified raglan shaping that keeps the sweater more secure on your shoulders. The lace and cable pattern is charted and written out.
