CONSTRUCTION
Baby Novus is knit in two halves, sleeve to neckline, and then joined in the back and side seams with garter stitch panels. As with all of Laura’s designs she has loads of tutorials to help you with the tricksy bits! The Novus construction is a blast, and this is a great way to check it out!
