Ilha by Orlane Sucche is named after the art of basket weaving art from the Portuguese village Ilha. The textured yoke adorns the top of the sweater with a set of stitches reminiscent of braiding and weaving. ILHA is worked from the top down, in the round. After the delicate yoke, the top of the sweater is shaped with raglan increases, resulting in a comfortable sweater and well-defined armholes. Once the stitches of the sleeves are put on hold, the body is knitted in the round.

Note: The original design features  pretty braids on the sides and textured cuffs and hemline but for this warm-weather version, I opted to knit the body plain and simply worked one purl-row before casting off the cuffs and hem (knit-wise). I also worked 3/4 length sleeves instead of for a more relaxed effect.
