CIELO means “sky” in Spanish, and the beautiful sparkly yarn with paillettes I used as main color for this sweater has the same name. The sweater is made in one piece from top down with beads worked into the stitches (optional).

The range of ease across all the sizes is 10-14 cm/4-5.5”.

The picture shows size 4 with 13 cm/5” of positive ease.

PATTERN NOTES:
• I recommend swatching for the colorwork and if you notice that it is tighter than the stockinette stitch dome in one color, please use larger needles for working the colorwork section of your sweater.
• The sweater is worked in one piece top down. You start with neck band, then work neck shaping with short rows and then continue working in the round. After the round yoke, you separate the sleeves and the body and continue working them separately.

SKILLS REQUIRED:
• basics (cast on/bind off, knit/purl, increase/decrease)
• short rows
• working in the round
• working from a chart
