April Morning is knit from the top down, in the round, with a delicate lace raglan. I designed this sweater with the novice knitter in mind. I wanted a simple raglan sweater that would be flattering for all body types and a pattern that would be fun and quick to knit. The faded colors are a great way to use up yarn stash but the sweater can easily be knit with just one color.
