When I held Cautiva in my hands for the first time, I was immediately smitten.
The yarn looks wonderfully rustic, yet is incredibly soft and supple. Exactly my taste. And it knits up dreamlike!
Ramón and the Wooldreamers are extremely committed to the welfare of animals, people and nature. It’s wonderful how they see the wool business as a cultural asset.
Not supporting fast fashion, but wool for life.
To do justice to this great approach, it was clear to me that my design for Cautiva didn’t need any fashionable frills, but it should be something honest.
Not simple, but intricate.
But above all, timeless.

Bergliebe [bʹɛrgliːbɵ] is worked seamlessly from the top down.
Starting with the neck shaping, short rows are worked back and forth to create a higher back neck. The yoke is then worked in the round to sleeve separation. Increases are worked into the textured part of the yoke, followed by raglan increases for the lower part of the yoke. Sleeve stitches are placed on hold to work the body top down. Sleeves are worked top down in rounds to the cuffs. No finishing required.

Notes
Body and sleeves can be lengthened or shortened by working more or less rounds before starting the ribbing. Size can be adjusted by working more or less raglan increases or by adding stitches to/reducing the number of stitches at the underarm cast-on.

After increase/decrease rounds you will find totals to check your stitch count.
