Harpa is knitted in the round from the bottom up, featuring mock cables on the ribbing. The body and sleeves are knitted separately before being joined on the same needle. The pattern features a central motif; to make the knitting as easy as possible, you can use stitch markers for each repeat to help you keep track.
Happy knitting!
