Ami is the third installment of my sweater designs inspired by Sailor Moon! Ami or Sailor Mercury is the smart one in the group, but that doesn’t mean she didn’t have great fashion! I can see her wearing this 90s inspired sweater while studying for her midterms.

Ami features a wide, scooped (but not too low) neckline, 3/4 length drop sleeves, and a cropped body. There are a small number of short rows to help shape the shoulders. It is worked top down, starting at the upper back.
