Jane Morris

The Arts & Crafts movement of the late 19th century found its muse in the beautiful and enigmatic Jane Morris. If she were around today, I expect that this sweater - relaxed, sexy, stylish and unique - is what she'd be wearing.

Sweater is knitted flat from the top down in one piece. Beginning with a provisional cast-on at the neckline, front and back are worked separately. Sleeves are picked up and knitted flat (although they could be modified to knit in the round). Sweater sides and sleeves are seamed.
