SOLANA

With its A-line shaping and belled sleeves, SOLANA is a sophisticated sweater that is comfortable and fun to wear.

Using one strand of Lunar and one strand of either Silk Cloud OR Pebble held together, SOLANA is worked in the round from the bottom up. Work is divided at the underarm and front and back are worked flat to the shoulders. Belled sleeves are knit flat, then set in and seamed. Folded hems at body and cuffs. A narrow stockinette collar is worked using two strands of Lunar held together.
