Re-introducing Johanna re-imagined! Recently republished, you’ll now find bodice and sleeves worked top down and in the round. Its Diamond Brocade stitch repeat and slim-fitted styling create a romantic silhouette with garter bands defining waist, neckline, and hems. A 3-button placket closure at the shoulder gives easy access and a bit of additional sparkle. Sleeves are set in. This is a light-weight pullover, just in time for spring. Enjoy!
