Ballinora is a celebration of texture, mixing a dramatic patchwork cable with Twisted Rib and Moss Stitch. Swish gives fantastic stitch definition and is the perfect yarn for this project.

Ballinora starts with the body worked in one piece from the bottom up, then splits at the armholes where fronts and back are worked flat. Sleeves are worked flat. Short row shaping is used to shape the shawl collar.
