THIS KNITTING PATTERN IS A DIGITAL DOWNLOAD IN PDF FORMAT AND IN ENGLISH ONLY! The Diona pullover is a stylish and warm pullover with a cable pattern on the front and the back and 2x2 ribbing on the sleeves and the sides. The collar is started with a 1x1 ribbing that flows into a beautiful and classic cable pattern on the front and the back. The Diona pullover is knitted seamlessly in one piece from the top down, with well-thought and polished details such the neat and stretchy tubular bind off edges and short-row shaping for the front neck. All techniques and steps are explained in the pattern. The pattern is written for a combination of sport weight yarn and a strand of silk mohair weight yarn, but you can also use a single strand of worsted weight yarn.
