Leyla is a gorgeous v-neck cardigan with an all-over cable and bobble pattern. Puff sleeves give this sweater an ultra-feminine flair and dress up a wardrobe staple. Cardigan is knit flat in pieces from the bottom up and seamed.

Leyla was originally knit in Dulce, which has been discontinued. We wanted to knit up a new sample in a current Berroco yarn, and Mistico stepped in seamlessly. We love its soft, fluffy halo and the extra depth that the colorful core gives to finished projects.

Stitch patterns are charted only.
