Ulia is a textured, structured, crew neck sweater with a classic fit. Follow the charts or written instructions to create a motif of the natural world with cables and bobbles.

Ulia is knitted from the bottom up, in the round, until you get to the armholes. At that point the front and back of the sweater are knitted flat. The sleeves are knitted in the round until the underarms and then knit flat as you shape the shoulder caps. Both the body and the sleeves start with a tubular cast-on to create a tidy, long-wearing ribbing. The raglan sleeves are sewn to the sweater body. Stitches are picked up around the neck to create the ribbing for the neckline. Lastly, a tubular bind off is worked to keep continuity of all edges.

Choose your size according to the largest measurement around your chest, plus 2-6 in/ 5-15 cm of positive ease. Example: if your chest measures 34 in/ 86 cm and you want 5 in/ 12.5 cm of positive ease, you would knit the size 2 that has a 39 in/ 98 cm circumference at the chest. The chest and waist measurements are the same so pick a size that also fits your waist. See chart in photos for sweater measurements.

Pattern is for experienced knitters who can:
Follow either the chart or written instructions for cables and bobbles, working both in the round and flat.

Seaming and blocking.

Note about bobbles: these are what I call quickie-bobbles because they are made without turning your work.
