Carmen — Knitting pattern
Carmen is a folkloric bolero knit in two mirrored parts. Short‑row shaping sculpts each back half, then stitches are cast on for the sides and sleeves to knit in the round. After working the charted motif and sleeve shaping, the halves meet and are neatly grafted at center back. Seed‑stitch borders and cuffs add texture and keep edges tidy.
