Belen is knit from the bottom up, with a worked-in collar that continues along the back neck, and set in sleeves with puffed sleeve caps. A single lace panel down the center back adds extra interest.Worked in a lightweight blend of silk and merino, Belen is a wonderful warmer weather sweater.

Belen is available as part of an e-book, as well as an individual pattern. For more info please see here-
