Why You’ll Love Telesto
The Telesto by Audrey Borrego is a highly versatile knitting pattern that lets you create either a breezy summer tee or a cozy long-sleeve sweater from the same design. Featuring elegant lace saddle-drop shoulders, a flattering low V-neck, and your choice of a straight or A-line silhouette, Telesto offers countless customization possibilities.
Worked seamlessly from the top down, the design blends delicate lace details with modern shaping techniques for a polished, wearable garment. The lace motifs are worked only on right-side rows, making them enjoyable to knit while remaining approachable. Helpful written instructions, charts, and video tutorials for the mock cables and bobbles make this an engaging project for adventurous knitters.

Construction Details
Telesto is worked seamlessly from the top down, beginning with beautifully textured lace saddle shoulders and a flattering low V-neckline.
The upper body is knitted flat before joining to work the body in the round. Knitters can choose between a straight silhouette or a softly flared A-line version, with optional German short-row bust darts for an even more customized fit.
The lace combines eyelets, twisted stitches, mock cables, and small bobbles to create an elegant shoulder detail while keeping the remainder of the garment relaxing to knit.
Both written instructions and fully charted lace charts are included, along with video tutorials for the decorative stitch techniques.
