Helena is a warm and cosy slipover, knitted from bottom up in rounds until the beginning of the armholes. Once the slipover is divided into back and front, you work in rows until shoulder.

The back is worked in stockinette stitch and some simple ribbings at the hem and around the armholes. At the center of the front you work a cable panel, which is described in a chart.
