Prompted by a styling request from daughter Juliet, Martha is a slim-fitting, shaped sweater with three-quarter sleeves and buttoned up placket closures on each shoulder and sleeve cuff. Its round neckline and hems are trimmed with wide ribbing. Both bodice and sleeves are worked top down and seamlessly in the round, with short rows at sleeve caps for smooth shaping and ease in setting in. Worked in sport weight wool, this is a light springtime design perfect for seasonal transitions. Enjoy!
