larger ndl
21 sts x 28 rows = 4” in Stockinette stitch (St st)

PATTERN NOTES
Soft and fluffy are qualities we love in cool
weather knits. Add lace and a gorgeous halo from
the yarn and you’re left with a sweater you’ll
never want to take off. Ariosa combines Bella
Cash and Penna into a hazy, dreamy garment that
is just as much fun to knit as it is to wear.
This sweater is knit flat in pieces and seamed. The
shoulders are shaped using short-rows and joined
using the three-needle bind-off with the wrong
sides facing together to create a visible seam
along the shoulder line. Stitches are picked up
along to neck and knit to create a rolled collar.
In this pattern, hold a strand of color A and a
strand of color B together as one strand
throughout.
W&T: Wrap and Turn. To wrap a stitch on RS
rows, bring the yarn to the front of the work, slip
the next st purlwise to the RH ndl, take the yarn
to the back of the work, slip the st back to the left
ndl, turn. To wrap a stitch on WS rows, take the
yarn to the back of the work, slip the next st
purlwise to the RH ndl, bring the yarn to the front
of the work, slip the st back to the left ndl, bring
the yarn to the front of the work, turn.
Working together wrapped stitches:
On the right side of the work, bring the wrap up
onto the needle with the stitch it was wrapped
around and knit the 2 stitches together. On the
wrong side of the work, bring the wrap up onto
the needle with the stitch it was wrapped around
and work a ssp with the two stitches.
