Aalya
Aalya is a relaxed-fitting, drop-shoulder sweater with a simple cable pattern on the front and back and 2 x 2 ribbing on the sides and top of the sleeves. Part of the sleeves are worked in reverse stockinette stitch. The sweater is quite relaxing to knit as the cable pattern is easy to memorise.
