Shel Designs Calla PDF

Calla, a collaboration between Shel Designs and Shibui Knits, is a fabulous striped summer pullover knit in Koan. This sleeveless top is a beautiful piece that can be dressed down with a pair of jeans for the weekend or dressed up with a skirt for the office. Calla is knit in the round from the bottom up to the armholes, and then the body is divided and worked flat to the shoulders. The striping sequence is worked throughout. Shibui Knits Koan has the perfect balance of linen and Mulberry silk. The fingering weight blend will refresh your closet with flowing spring accessories, sweaters, and lightweight summer tops.
