Telakka Sweater by Blue Sky Fibers

This light and versatile sweater is designed to be perfect for all seasons. Made of fingering weight yarn and adorned with beautiful chains, this sweater is roomy, modern, and waiting to be cast-on to your needles. "Telakka" means dockyard in Finnish. The design draws inspiration from the ropes of boats fluttering in the wind. With simple cables and an oversized fit, this sweater will be your new favorite. The sweater is made knit flat and seamed at the sides, shoulders and armholes. Then stitches are picked up around the neckband and ribbing is added.
