Made in one piece, from hem to hem, this knitting is relaxing and quick. Venus is a great sweater for a beginner because is introduces a simple yet interesting stitch texture, a large gauge for quick gratification, little shaping or seaming, and a finished garment which can be worn throughout the seasons.

This pattern was originally published in Knitscene Spring 2007, and is now available as a single pattern from Kate Jackson Knits.
