About the Design
Gabriella was meant to turn heads with her snug, cropped shape and sweet little lace pattern!

Lace can easily turn a thicker yarn into a spring or summer garment. This sweater knits up quickly, thanks to the yarn weight, as well as the cropped length and fitted shape.

The grey wool blend sample is knit in Cascade Yarns Eco Cloud, a light and luscious merino and kid mohair cabled yarn. The orchid cotton blend sample is knit in Cascade Yarns Cotton Rich.
