Calatrava by Alison Green

Calatrava features pops of garter stitch texture in between diamond slip-stitch cables that creates a secondary hexagon pattern along the front panels of this open cardigan. Knit seamlessly from the top down, this sweater has thoughtful details paired with sophisticated, clean-lined style that makes it a timeless wardrobe staple.

Stitch patterns are both charted and written out. Stitch pattern includes simple cable crosses worked on the WS.
