The inspiration for my newest sweater design simply came from one of my favourite yarns, the Brooklyn Tweed yarn, and a spectacular and easy-to-memorise mock-cable pattern!
Elva is a classic set-in sleeves sweater, worked in four pieces: a front, a back and two identical sleeves. All the pieces are worked flat from the bottom edge up to the neck. Pieces are seamed together at the end, then the neckband is picked up.
