“Ability may get you to the top, but it takes character to keep you there.”
-Stevie Wonder

The Beautifully Basic Henley is just that - beautiful and basic. A classic top-down raglan design, there are minimal design elements, making it the perfect sweater for beginner knitters or the ideal tabula rasa for budding designers. Knit it as written for a classic silhouette and easy-to-follow design, or add in your own details to individualize it - a different ribbing, a cable in between the raglan increases… the possibilities are endless!
