Simple and perfectly shaped, Jane is the basic cardigan everyone needs. Top-down raglan construction is paired with a perfectly shaped crew neckline and cropped body. The sleeves have the perfect amount of ease for layering without being bulky and are delicately shaped for the perfect amount of volume just before the cuff.

Jane is accompanied by a free video tutorial walking you through the entire process of knitting the cardigan, which makes Jane an ideal choice for your first cardigan. Together we will go through the entire process from choosing your size to blocking your finished cardigan. You can find this video tutorial here.
