Portee is my collaboration design with Rosarios4 for the amazing Knit with Friends Festival in Porto, Portugal that takes place the 4th and 5th of June 2022.

Also available on my website.

Portee has a very easy bottom-up construction. Imagine 2 identical pieces that start from the front half (our belly) and end to the back half, joined together with 2 faux cables.

The pattern is tech-edited and test knitted.
It has written instructions separate for each size and charts.
