Pala

Pala is a simple and lightly detailed top for all of the months where a delicate covering is needed. The split back construction along with i-cord collar edging give just enough detail to make the project one to delight in. This top can be enjoyed by any level of knitter from adventurous beginner to seasoned expert.

This sweater is worked from the top down. It incorporates simple decreases, increases, an i-cord bind off, picking up stitches, short rows, and three needle bind off.

The top was made with Madelinetosh Pashmina yarn dyed naturally with avocado skins and pits.
