Seronda by Belén Fernández

Seronda is a raglan-sleeve jumper with a cable panel along the front. It’s knitted in the round, from the top down. It has two options for the neck, a slightly oversized fit and straight sleeves with long narrow cuffs at the end. The pattern has 9 sizes, for bust sizes from 67 to 157 cm / 27 to 63 inches.

Seronda is the name given to the autumn months and the autumn harvest in the dialect of the northern Spanish region where I was born.
