Janni

Introducing Janni, a beautifully knitted garment designed for comfort and style, crafted seamlessly from the top down. This pattern features a thoughtfully shaped neckline that utilizes short rows for a superior fit. The innovative design combines the shoulders and upper body into a single piece, using increases to eliminate the need for picking up stitches along the shoulder band. As you work through the pattern, you will encounter deep armholes that allow for optimal movement, with sleeve stitches placed on hold to be knitted later in the round, ensuring a smooth and uninterrupted knitting experience.

The lower body of Janni incorporates subtle side decreases, providing a well-balanced silhouette. However, if you prefer a more relaxed fit, feel free to omit these decreases. To enhance the structure and longevity of the garment, collar stitches are picked up at the end, and the collar is knitted in the round. The ribbing culminates in a charming rolled edge, adding a touch of elegance to the overall design.
