Milano
|
The yoke pattern of Milano was inspired by the floor decoration of the Milan Cathedral. The sweater is knit in a cotton/rayon/linen blend yarn, which makes it a perfect garment for spring and summer. If you are substituting yarn, getting row gauge can be a problem, however, figuring out how many rounds less you have to knit requires only a little experience. Milano is decorated with a delicate lace border around the lower edge and the neckline. It is knit in the round from the bottom up.
