Juno was the chief goddess in ancient Roman mythology. She was the queen of heaven and protector of Rome, but also the goddess of love and marriage.

The Juno raglan tee is knitted seamlessly from the top down. The neck shaping is worked flat, after which the rest of the tee is worked in the round. The lace pattern is knitted on the sleeves, while the front and back of the tee are worked in stockinette stitch.
