Bellissima

Bellissma combines the coziness of a cable-knit sweater with the elegance of lace knitting in a flattering swing shape. Body and sleeves are knit in the round to the yoke where they are joined, then the yoke continues in the round to finish at the neck. Only the small seams at the underarms require sewing. NOTE: Fiddlesticks Knitting patterns are charted. Recommended for Intermediate knitters.
