"Lightweight, layerable, lovely!"
Calla, a sleeveless shell, is just the fresh basic every warm-weather wardrobe needs! With a pattern of narrow stripes and an easy, relaxed silhouette, Calla is the perfect piece for layering—wear under a cardigan on chillier days or on its own when the sun shines brightly.
Calla was designed by Shellie Anderson in collaboration with Shibui Knits using fingering-weight Shibui Koan.
This eight-page pattern includes:
- Lovely full-color photography
- A clear design/sizing schematic
- Brief guidelines for:
- Striping Sequence in the Round
- German Twisted Cast-On
- Striping Sequence Flat
- Binding Off in the Center of a Row
- Sloped Bind-Off
- Slipped Stitches
- German Short Rows
- 3-Needle Bind-Off
