Shel Designs Verve PDF

Shel Designs Verve is a lightweight, airy, and versatile women’s pullover using Shibui Knits Tweed Silk Cloud. Wear Verve over a summer tank or layer it over long sleeves in cooler weather. The sweater is knit in the round from the bottom up. The body is divided at the armholes and worked flat to the shoulders. Knit this with stripes in 5 or 6 colors or a single color version. The choice is yours, so start picking your color(s)! Made of a silk and mohair blend, this yarn also has tweedy raw silk flecks that add another layer of texture. This yarn has a gorgeous halo and a luxurious hand, and like many Shibui yarns.
