ENAMORADO is a cozy sweater with a turtleneck, worked seamlessly from the bottom up, with raglan sleeves and a beautiful lace and cables pattern in center front and back.

The picture shows size 3 with 5.5 cm/2.25” of positive ease.

PATTERN NOTES:
• The sweater is worked in one piece bottom up.
• The sleeves are worked separately and then joined with the body followed by raglan decreases.
• After neck shaping with short rows, turtleneck is worked on smaller needles and its length can be easily adjusted to your preference (also you can omit turtleneck and work a simple round neckband in twisted ribbing).

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