ALIMENA - a spacious jumper in cashmere in a relaxed style where the textured pattern together with the wideness make the elegant presentation. The jumper is worked
bottom up - in this old fashioned way I prefer.
Drop shoulder sleeves to either work from top to bottom or to work seperately for then to join into armhole. The body was worked in rounds - the sleeves were worked flat.
Written pattern with charts.
The model goes also well in wool.
