designed for the mYak virtual retreat 2021

update 02/16: portuguese translation added

Sabela (a variation of my own name ;)) encapsulates everything I love in a sweater. It has an effortless, modern and straight shape, some ease and, of course, stripes! which are my favorite way of adding color to a garment.

Sabela is worked seamlessly in rounds from the top down. First some short rows are worked back and forth to shape the neck. The yoke is shaped by using a modified version of the contiguous set-in sleeves method developed by Susie Myers. When the yoke shaping is complete, the sleeve stitches are placed on hold and underarm stitches are cast on. The body is then worked in rounds to the hem. The sleeve stitches are then picked up again to work them in rounds top down to the cuffs (instructions for both short and long sleeves are provided). Neck is left unfinished.
