A feminine button-up with eye-catching colorwork on the sleeve cuffs, View Royal will be a go-to garment. The fit is relaxed and flattering, aided by set-in sleeves, waist shaping, and short row shoulder shaping. The aran weight yarn makes it a quick-knit project that looks more complicated than it is. The body and sleeves are knit in one piece from the bottom up, with a knit-on button band and I-Cord neckline edging.
