The Lilian sweater is a soft, beautifully fluffy, and warm cable sweater knitted top down starting at the neckband. Lilian has raglan sleeves and repeating cable pattern. The sleeves and body are separated at the underarm and knitted separately.

Suggested yarn
One strand of Drops Alpaca (color 302 Camel) held together with one strand of Drops Brushed Alpaca Silk (color 1 Off white).
When choosing two slightly different colors you’ll get a beautiful marble texture look to your sweater. You may also choose two similar yarn colors if you wish the cables to stand out even better. Alternatively, instead of Alpaca yarn, you can choose for example merino yarn held together with a single strand of silk mohair.
