Cast on 64 s. Knit 4 garter ridges. You are now going to knit stockinette, but the first and last 5 s are knitted in garter stitch.

When the piece measures 6.5 " knit like this on the next wrong side row: (Still in stockinette with garter edges):
Work 15 s. Bind off 4 s. Work 26 s. Bind off 4 s. Work the rest of the row and put aside.

Arms

Place a marker at the beginning of the round to mark the under arm. Work an increase round every 2 “ of stockinette 2 times altogether:

Work until 1 s remains before the marker. Make 1 s. Knit 2 s. Make 1 s. You now have 24 s. Work until the arm measures 6.5  “. Bind off 4 s under the arm.

Line up all the parts on the circular needle and work one right side row while placing markers between the arms and body part (4 markers). Knit back. The rest of the cardigan is knitted in garter and with raglan decreases:

Row 1: Knit until 3 s remains before the 1st marker. SSK. K 2 s. K2tog. Repeat for all 4 markers
Row 2: Knit.

After 8 decrease rows knit a row or two (to place the last button hole evenly) and bind off.
