Joan Fuller
Joan Fuller is a compatriot at the ready for a concert in the park or a cup of coffee and pajamas. It is knit from the bottom up on circular needles, with short row shaping at the hem and the cuffs to create curved hemlines. The front is cropped to feature a bit of one’s shirt or a spectacular belt buckle. The sleeves and body are joined on a circular needle, and worked into a raglan yoke. There are no seams to sew.
