Miss Jane

When simplicity is required, Miss Jane is the perfect garment. Perfect for slipping on over sundresses and frolicking in the Spring sunshine. Miss Jane has a simple yet unusual construction that’s best described as a hybrid raglan. Miss Jane can be worn as an open cardigan or the eyelet details can be threaded with ribbon to close the cardie. Either way it is simple and beautiful. A staple garment for any wardrobe.

Miss Jane is the grown up version of Jane, a supersweet and simple knit for the junior set.

Construction:

The bodice is constructed using a hybrid raglan yoke construction. This is an unusual take on the traditional raglan , with the increases only worked on the back of the garment. The cast-on stitches form the neck and front edges of the bodice’s yoke. Stitches are picked up along the edges of the rows to form the front of the cardigan.
