Illas Cíes Short Sleeve
knitting pattern

A longer, easy-fitting pullover in 10 sizes (XS/S/M/L/1X/2X/3X/4X/5X/6X). Optional short row shaping adds a bit of length at the back hem; neck and hems are finished with narrow ribbing. Accented by vertical bands of mock cable texture with a touch of openwork, this piece works up well in a cool hemp or cotton blend for spring and summer or soft wool for fall and winter; it will be a year-round favorite for home, office, and travel.

All pieces are knit-flat, bottom-up and seamed, making this a highly portable project for knitters on the go.

This pattern is both written and charted and can be transferred to your Ravelry Library upon request.
