The Billie cardigan is knitted seamlessly top-down starting at the neckline. The cable pattern is easy to memorize and raglan increases over the cable pattern are charted. The sleeves and body are separated at the underarm and knitted separately. Lastly the buttonbands and the neckband are picked up from the body and knitted in the 1x1 ribbing.

The cable patterns are charted only, no written charts.
