Shibui Knits Layton PDF

Shibui Knits Layton from Julie Hoover is a lovely and smart women’s pullover knit in Pebble and will be an instant wardrobe favorite. This sweater features a mock turtleneck, saddle shoulders with a delicate pattern running up the center of the sleeves to the collar. Layton is knit flat in pieces from the bottom up and seamed together. The collar is knit in the round from picked up stitches. Shibui Knits Pebble is a soft & luscious blend of silk, wool, and cashmere. This fingering weight yarn exhibits a gentle tweedy effect, created by the small slubs that entwine the core fibers. The entire sweater is knit with the yarn held double. The Wild Oats Stitch is in written form only.
