Helena is a name meaning bright, which I find appropriate for a sunny sweater to wear on a gloomy winter day. The yarn is a fingering weight which means extra knitting, although enjoyable, but also an heirloom-quality result will be achieved. The shaping is quite simple in the underarm area but can always be omitted for easier knitting and a drop-sleeve style. The pullover is worked circularly to the underarms. At that point, you can work flat or include steeks, which are written in the instructions.
