The Cecilia Sweater is a seamless circular yoke sweater with straight wide sleeves. The key feature is an interesting color
blocking motif. The sleeves and body are separated by placing the sleeve stitches on hold while the body is worked in
stockinette stitch with a ribbed rolled hem and a regular bind off. The sleeve stitches are placed back on the needles, worked in
stockinette stitch and finished with a ribbed rolled cuff and a regular bind off, repeating for the other sleeve.

This sweater is designed to have 15 – 25 cm / 6 – 10 in of positive ease at the bust. Please see the diagram in picture section
