30% NEW YEAR’S SALE THRU DECEMBER 31, CET, NO CODE NEEDED

KEALA means “path” in Hawaiian. I think it is a good name for this pattern because of the little “paths” of twisted stitches and lace columns running along the whole sweater.

As most of my patterns, Keala has a seamless top-down construction which allows you to adjust your desirable length of body and sleeves very easily.

The range of ease across all the sizes is 6-8 cm
/2.5-3.25”.

The picture shows size 2 with 6 cm/2.5” of positive ease.
