Ynis Avalach is a modest but elegant sweater with an interesting pattern on the sleeves. Made in one piece, without sewing. A bit lose so it doesn’t cling to the body too tight, especially under the arms. Knitted from top with the contiguous method, which means a knitting the front, back and sleeves simultaneously in one round. For a more interesting effect there is a longer back. ^^
