Keila

This purchase is for the DIGITAL PATTERN only, not a physical item.

Keila is a top-down seamless yoke sweater that is knit in the round. There is a ribbed neckline followed by short rows at the back of the neck for a comfortable fit. The yoke features stranded colourwork that has been inspired by Estonian motifs and includes texture with rows of purl stitches. There is optional waist and hip shaping to add feminine shape, and the hem and wrist cuffs are finished off with ribbing.
