Featured exclusively on the KnittingDaily.com Blog on January 23, this sweater is one of the bonus patterns from Kristeen Griffin-Grimes new book, French Girl Knits.

Kristeen originally designed 19 sweaters for her book--but there was only enough page space for 18 of them. In this case, all 19 sweaters were so lovely that we didn’t want to let any of them go--so we decided to offer Vienne, a top-down seamless pullover, for free on Knitting Daily. Vienne is constructed from the top down, with set in sleeves worked simultaneously with the upper bodice. Front and back v-neck lace edging is worked into the pattern as you go.
