The Ilana sweater is knitted from top to bottom using the diagonal shoulder technique, also known as the European or Japanese method. The sweater features tiny cables that even don’t require a cable needle, but creating an amazing look. All increases and decreases are delicately integrated into the cable pattern, resulting in a neat and polished vibe.
The pattern suggests two neckline options: a classic crew-neck or a v-neck. You can also choose between two sleeve styles - straight sleeves for a relaxed fit or tapered sleeves, which also require less yarn ;)

I hope you enjoy this pattern. Check this hashtag on Instagram to see the other projects: #Ilana_sweater
