Gabriella is a strong yet graceful feminine form of Gabriel. I always think of cables as adding strength and structure to a garment. The way they are used in this pullover they also add graceful lines and curves creating a beautiful feminine sweater. The base cable pattern used is from Norah Gaughan’s Knitted Cable Sourcebook, which has so many wonderful cables! From playing with it I created the beautiful back. I knew this one needed a special yarn so I used Bare Naked Wools Better Breakfast. It is wonderful to work with knits up beautifully. I had so much fun designing this pullover. I hope you have as much fun knitting it!

Notes:
This pullover is constructed from the top down in one piece with a raglan yoke and an A-line body.
The sleeve length can be easily adjusted.
There is a lot going on in the yoke of the pattern. Please read all the notes at each section. Also there are several directions for specific sizes, I recommend highlighting your size. I would also recommend using different color markers for charts and division of stitches.
If you change the body shaping you will need a multiple of 3 for the bottom band.
