Telja
Discover the beauty and craftsmanship of the Telja sweater, a stunning knit pattern designed to be knitted in the round from the bottom up.

The intricate stranded yoke adds a touch of artistry, while the neckline is finished with a refined applied i-cord, ensuring a polished look.
This versatile design is suitable for either worsted or DK weight yarn, making it a perfect project for knitters of all levels. Telja is intentionally designed to be worn with positive ease, allowing for a comfortable yet flattering fit. For those who prefer a close fit, aim for 1-2 inches of positive ease.
