Nerea
This pattern can also be found in issue 7 of Laine Magazine.
Nerea has an interesting apparently seamless construction with a decorative and elegant feathery caliper cable along the sleeves and neckline. The sweater is knitted sideways, in two halves, beginning from the sleeve cuff moving on to the body. The body is constructed by a double sided provisional crochet cast-on leaving an invisible seam and then grafted down the centre front and back using Russian grafting.
