As I was designing this sweater and trying to decide on a name, my friend Michele said the patterning looked like Coral Bells. And my little, baby Cora kitty needed a sweater named after her. Thus, Cora Bells was born.

Cora Bells is knit from the top down and in the round. There is no seaming. This would be a great first sweater. If you are comfortable with knitting in the round, increases and decreases, and picking up stitches, you can absolutely knit this top.
