This is a revised version of ENAMORADO Sweater initially released in January 2022. In the present version, I changed the construction from bottom-up to top-down and also exchanged the holes in the lace pattern with a hole-free version which is more beneficial for a winter garment.

It is a cozy sweater with a turtleneck, worked seamlessly from the top down, with raglan sleeves and a beautiful cable pattern in center front and back. It is also a very quick knit in chunky weight yarn.

The sample for my revised pattern is made in ECO SOFT by ISAGER.

The range of ease across sizes is 6-11.5 cm/2.5-4.5”. The picture shows size 3 with 8.5 cm/3.5” of positive ease.
