The Carla sweater is knitted top down using one strand of merino and one strand of sift silk mohair held together. Knitting for Olive Merino yarn together with Knitting for Olive Soft Silk Mohair in a beautiful colour of Dusty Artichoke is a perfect choice.

The sweater has a collection of cables which make it interesting to work on, yet the cables are not very difficult to do. Carla is knitted top down, one of the eyelet mock cables continues from shoulders to sleeves. Mostly the sweater is worked in round, but part of the upper body is worked back and forth.
