Noella
In these unprecedented times, the best thing we can do, is stay at home as much as possible. What better way to keep ourselves happy than by casting on a beautiful colourwork sweater?
I’m happy to share this new design with you, named Noella after my grand-mother who loved to knit and loved colour!
Happy knitting my friends and stay safe!
Noella is knit in the round, from the top-down. There are short rows to shape the back but those are done just before separating the body and sleeves.
