THIS KNITTING PATTERN IS A DIGITAL DOWNLOAD IN PDF FORMAT AND IN ENGLISH ONLY!
The Celia pullover is knitted seamlessly top-down starting at the neckline. The cable and lace pattern is easy to memorize and raglan increases over the cable pattern are charted. The sleeves and body are separated at the underarm and knitted separately. Lastly the neckband is picked up from the body and knitted in the round.
The cable patterns are charted only, no written charts.
