Cerisara
Let the air wrap you in its arms when you’re wearing: CERISARA.
A beautiful hybrid of a very traditional shape with lovely lace, Cerisara has intriguing form and exquisite finishing.
Knit in one piece, from the top down. Instructions included for both long sleeves and a sleeveless vest version -- sleeves easily shortened with this try-it-on-as-you-go design!
This is a style that uses DK weight yarn bumped up to a worsted weight gauge to make a fabric with gorgeous, but not out-of-control, drape and stitch definition.
I used something called Eucool for the sample sweater, which is a very lightweight yarn made from wool and get this: eucalyptus! I fantasized about the days I used to live on the coast of Northern California where we had so many of these trees (I am very sentimental)!
Other beautiful yarns that work well: Silky Wool, Felted Tweed DK, Rowan Cashcotton, Lempur Linen, & Wool/Cotton, Classic Elite Soft Linen, Hempathy, etc. Oh, and Blue Sky SKINNY COTTON (oh please, the Mallard color just rocks)!
The model’s bust measurement in the pic is 36” and the sweater shown is size 38” (so pick your actual measurement + 2” for a standard fit).
