Helica, from Latin “winding”, is a name I picked for this design because of the winding ivy branch of the colourwork pattern on the yoke.
The design features an interesting cast-on method, which imitates tubular cast-on and transitions into 2x2 ribbing. Moreover, the bottom of the yoke is decorated with the woven in “root-like” elements, which can be extended all the way to the body. Video tutorials for both the cast-on and decorative elements are provided.
The pullover is knit top-down in the round. It has a relaxed fit and a boxy body. The sleeves are tapered towards the cuffs, with the cuffs being relaxed and on the looser size.

Adjust the needle sizes if necessary to obtain the correct gauge.
Note: Be sure to knit a test swatch, as you may need to adjust your needle size to achieve the correct gauge of 21 stitches and 26 rows. This sample and bundles' version features a longer body than the original pattern, which is slightly cropped—Sasha, the maker, added extra length for her preference. She also achieved the correct gauge using 3.5mm needles, as she is a tight knitter.
The bundle includes all the required yarn in the necessary quantities to knit the sweater in your chosen size, along with a detailed shopping list of additional materials you'll need.
