Portee (EN/ES/PT)

Portee is my collaboration design with Rosarios4 for the amazing Knit with Friends Festival in Porto, Portugal that takes place the 4th and 5th of June 2022.

Portee has a very easy bottom-up construction. Imagine 2 identical pieces that start from the front half (our belly) and end to the back half, joined together with 2 faux cables.

The pattern is tech-edited and test knitted.
It has written instructions separate for each size and charts.
