LiNA

Introducing LiLA, the enchanting alter ego of the classic sweater. While both share an elegant construction, it's the delightful eyelet details that set LiLA apart, making it a must-knit project for any avid knitter. This basic sweater features charming accents and is designed for an effortless fit, ensuring you can create a stylish piece with ease!

Featuring versatile options, the LiLA pattern allows you to choose between long or short sleeves, tailoring the sweater to your personal style and seasonal needs.

LiLA is expertly crafted in a seamless top-down design. The neck is elegantly shaped using short rows, leading into a beautifully constructed yoke that incorporates increases for both the body and the sleeves down to the point of sleeve separation. After this, the sleeve stitches are placed on hold, and additional underarm stitches are cast on, allowing you to continue crafting the body down to the hem. Once the body is complete, the sleeve stitches are picked up again, enabling you to knit the sleeves in the round from the top down to the desired length. Finally, the neck finishing is done last to give your sweater a polished look.

This stylish garment is designed to be worn with a comfortable positive ease of 12—18 cm (4¾—7"), ensuring that you enjoy a relaxed fit that doesn’t compromise on style.

Before you begin, please check the gauge: 23 stitches x 32 rows/rnds = 10 x 10 cm / 4 x 4 in in stockinette stitch on the main needle after blocking. This will help you achieve the perfect fit and ensure your LiLA sweater turns out just right!

Whether you’re a seasoned knitter or just starting, the LiLA sweater pattern is an exciting addition to your collection. Embrace the joys of knitting with this unique design today!
