Refined Knitwear

The Casia-line is:

 

Casia Cardigan 

Casia Sweater

Casia Sweater V-neck  

Casia Tee

Casia Crossover

Casia Cropped Cardigan

Casia Sweater Square-line

 

Also, there is a few Casia-designs for little girls:

 

Casia Cardigan Junior, Casia Sweater Junior and Casia Tunic.

 

Characteristics:

 

Gauge:

All models  have the gauge 19 sts x 27 rows = 10 x 10 cm on either needle size 4 or 4.5 mm. 
 

Wide neckline:

The Casia-line has deep or wide necklines.

​

Chain pattern:

The Casia-line has a little chain pattern emerged from the way the raglan increases are made.

 

Puff sleeves:

The Casia-line has a little puff sleeve placed on top of the shoulder which gives a flattering lift to the figure.

 

Same number of sleeve-stitches:

All models, except the Eius-line, have the same number of stitches around the armhole opening, but it varies if the sleeves are knit without increases down the sleeve or not, are ¾ length, are full length, are having a little balloon effect at the wrist or not.
