Janni

Discover the exquisite Janni knitting pattern, designed to be knitted from the top down seamlessly. This innovative design shapes the neckline using short rows, while the shoulders and upper body are skillfully crafted together with precise increases, eliminating the need to pick up stitches along the shoulder band. After creating deep armholes, the sleeve stitches are set aside to be easily knitted later in the round — a perfect solution for seamless, uninterrupted knitting enjoyment.

The lower body section includes a few strategically placed side decreases that ensure a well-balanced fit, though feel free to omit them if you prefer a more relaxed silhouette. To enhance the durability and structure of this beautiful garment, collar stitches are picked up at the end of the project and knitted in the round. The ribbed collar features a simple rolled edge, giving it a stylish finish that’s both modern and comfortable.

Available in a variety of sizes, the Janni pattern caters to a wide range of body types. Sizes include: 1 (2, 3, 4) (5, 6, 7) (8, 9, 10, 11) with a finished underarm circumference (including ease) measuring 105 (112.5, 120, 127.5) (137.5, 145, 152.5) (160, 167.5, 177.5, 185) cm, or 42 (45, 48, 51) (55, 58, 61) (64, 67, 71, 74) inches.
