Nadiya Sweater is knit top down with contiguous set in sleeves that holds plenty of texture and a bit of cables. “Nadiya” means “Hope” in my native Ukrainian language, and is also one of my dear sisters’ names as well as my grandmother’s. It’s an engaging pattern, but isn’t difficult to knit. Nadiya was designed with Paca La Alpaca’s SW Merino DK, which is soft and plump and knits up very fast!
